Method
- Place the ribs, meaty side down, on a flat surface.
- Using your fingernail, loosen a little of the membrane along the end of the last rib bone.
- Then, grasp the membrane firmly with a paper towel (so that the membrane doesn’t slip from your grip).
- Holding the ribs down with the other hand, pull the membrane away.
- If it doesn’t pull away in one piece, dislodge any remaining membrane, grip it with a paper towel, and pull the membrane away.
- Then place the ribs in a rectangular dish or baking pan.
- To make the sauce, place the olive oil, horseradish, and onion in a 12-inch saute pan placed over medium heat.
- Saute the onion for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion browns.
- Then add the garlic, chiles, ginger; tomatoes, and peppers.
- Saute for 5 minutes.

- Simmer over lowest heat, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
