Coarse salt
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice, plus 2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest (about 2 oranges)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground pepper

Make the mojo sauce: Toast the cumin seeds in a dry small skillet over high heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2
Grind the cumin seeds, garlic, chile, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt with a mortar and pestle until the mixture forms a coarse paste.

Transfer to a small bowl.
4
Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
5
Pour over the chile mixture.
6
Let cool completely.
7
Stir in the juices, orange zest, and parsley; season with pepper.
8
The sauce can be refrigerated, covered, until ready to use, up to 2 days (bring to room temperature before serving).
9
Heat the grill to medium (if using a charcoal grill, the coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for 5 to 6 seconds).
10
Season the rib chops with salt and pepper.
11
Grill, turning once, until cooked to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Serve with the mojo sauce.
