Ready Time: 8 hrs


• place the garlic, papaya, water, wine, honey, and tomato paste into a food processor. pulse until until the mixture is finely chopped, about 15 seconds. place the ribs into a 9x13 inch glass baking dish, and pour the marinade overtop. mix the ribs around in the marinade to ensure they are evenly coated. cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 6 hours to overnight (overnight is best).
• preheat an oven to 400 degrees f (200 degrees c).
• remove the ribs from the marinade, and shake off excess. scrape the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside.
• bake the ribs in the preheated oven until the meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. baste every 15 minutes with the reserved marinade.
