Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Rinse the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels. Rub the ribs with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  2. 2

    Make the Tamarind Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix the tamarind paste and brown sugar until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Brush the tamarind glaze generously over the ribs. Cover with another piece of foil and bake for 2.5 hours.

  4. 4

    Finish the Ribs

    After baking, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until the ribs are caramelized and slightly crispy on the edges.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Garnish

    While the ribs are finishing, combine the fresh herbs, sliced radishes, crushed tortilla chips, and grated Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Slice the ribs and serve them topped with the herb-radish-tortilla mixture.
