Fiery Mango-Marinated Ribs Recipe

Directions:

1. Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs. Place the ribs in a rectangular dish or baking pan.
2. For the marinade: Peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the seed. Combine the mango flesh and chipotle chiles in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and puree. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and combine with the ketchup, tequila, lime juice, oyster sauce or hoisin sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and cilantro. Makes 2 cups.
3. Coat the ribs evenly on both sides with half the marinade. Marinate the ribs refrigerated for at least 15 minutes. For more flavor, marinate for up to 8 hours. Set aside the remaining marinade to serve as a sauce for the ribs.
4. To grill the ribs, if using a gas barbecue, preheat to medium (325 F). If using charcoal or wood, prepare a fire. Occasionally during cooking, baste the ribs with extra marinade, stopping 15 minutes before removing the ribs from the grill.
5. To serve, cut each side of ribs in half, into 3 sections, or into individual ribs. Transfer to a heated serving platter or 4 heated dinner plates and serve at once accompanied by the reserved sauce.
