Receta Cuban Pork
I adapted this recipe from a very popular cuban pork recipe on Allrecipes. I used boneless country style ribs instead of pork roast, because they were on sale and easier! I also boiled instead of roasting, because I find it makes the pork even more tender. I was very happy with the results. Incredibly flavorful and wonderful over black beans and rice!

- Heat a small, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and peppercorns to the pan; stir or shake constantly until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Cool.
- Using a mortar and pestle, crush toasted spices with garlic, salt, and oregano to make a paste. You can also do this in the small bowl of a food processor. Transfer to a small bowl, and stir in orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, sherry, and olive oil. Pour the contents of the bowl into a pot just large enough for each of the ribs to lie flat in the bottom, then place the ribs in the pot. It's OK if they are touching and a little crammed. Pour in 2-3 cups of water...just enough to mostly cover the ribs.
- Bring the pot to a high boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Simmer ribs for 1 hour, turning over once if a portion of the ribs is not covered by the water. After 1 hour, turn the heat up to medium and let the liquid boil down to just about half way up the ribs or less...about 1 hour.
- At this point the ribs will be mouthwateringly tender. Serve over black beans and rice or another starch dish. The thickened sauce is very pungent. I loved it over my ribs. It was a bit strong for my kids, who liked it mixed in the rice but not over the ribs. The ribs are wonderful served either way...dry or with sauce poured them.
