2 Canadian Pork country-style ribs
6 green onions
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped garlic
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped finely
1 7 oz (210 mL) can chipotle peppers in sauce
1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh oregano, or 2 tbsp (25 mL) dried

Cooking Instructions
Trim visible fat from pork. Combine green onions, garlic, jalapeno pepper, chipotles (with sauce), oregano, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse to a paste. Gradually add vinegar, then the olive oil. Place ribs in a glass or ceramic container and cover with marinade; reserve one cup for basting. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
Remove excess marinade from the meat. To grill: Pre-heat grill to medium/ 350°F/180°C.
Grill, with lid down, for about 30 minutes, or until ribs are cooked an internal temperature of 160°F/70°C registers on a meat thermometer. Turn frequently, basting with reserved marinade.
Oven: Roast at 350°F/180°C, basting frequently with reserved marinade until an internal temperature of 160°F/70°C registers on a meat thermometer.
Carve between rib bones and serve with a crisp green salad and baked sweet potatoes.
