1
Preheat your oven to 325u00b0.
-
2
Rub the ribs evenly with salt. Wrap in foil and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
-
3
Meanwhile, combine the sugar, the black pepper, and the chiles in a mortar and pestle, and grind into a paste.
-
4
Remove the ribs from the oven and switch the setting to broil on high.
-
5
Coat the top side of the ribs with the chile paste. Evenly.
-
6
Return the ribs to the oven and broil until the sugar starts to create a lacquer, about 5 minutes.
-
7
Pull the oven rack out far enough so you can then scatter the peanuts in an even layer on the ribs. Use the back of a spoon to help secure the nuts into the sticky sugar lacquer.
-
8
Broil for 1 1/2 minutes, allowing the peanuts to toast in some places, nearly char in others.
-
9
Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest until reasonable to touch.
-
10
Garnish with plenty of green onions, fresh lime, and any cooking juices from the pan.
