Citrus Glazed Gator Ribs
Recipe by Florida's state chef Justin Timineri
Ingredients:
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup key lime juice
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, chopped fine
- 4 leaves fresh thyme, chopped
- 4 leaves fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pounds alligator ribs
Citrus Glaze
- 1 cup orange juice
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup sweet butter
DIRECTIONS:
Prepare a citrus marinade by combining all ingredients except alligator ribs in a glass bowl; blend thoroughly. Set aside 1/2 cup marinade for basting. Pour remaining marinade over ribs and thoroughly coat all pieces; refrigerate in covered bowl or sealed zipper-type bag for 1 to 3 hours.
Remove ribs from marinade and discard used marinade. Heat stove top grill or gas grill to medium heat. Grill ribs for 45 minutes or until tender, basting frequently with reserved 1/2 cup of marinade. Prepare Citrus Glaze while ribs are grilling by combining all glaze ingredients, except butter, and simmering for 15 minutes or until thickened. Add butter in small pieces; heat until butter is melted. Keep warm at low heat until ready to serve. Remove ribs from grill and baste with Citrus Glaze.
