5 teaspoons of salt
2 teaspoons of olive oil
Method

Mix the sour orange juice, lime juice, oregano, garlic, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside about 1/2 cup of this mix (the marinating sauce) to be used when serving.
Place ribs in a large non-metal container and pour the rest of mix over the ribs. Rub the remaining salt thoroughly on all surfaces of the ribs. Place in the refrigerator and let stand for 2 to 3 hours.
Set you gas or charcoal grill to low and place ribs so that they are not exposed to direct flame. Cook slowly for about 30 - 45 minutes. Time will depend on the temperature of the grill. Cook very slowly to ensure tenderness. Turn ribs once or twice while cooking.
Once they are cooked, increase the heat to high or in the case of a charcoal grill place ribs over direct high charcoal heat in order to brown. Turn as needed to brown both sides well.
Serve with black beans and rice.
