Chop 2 scallions finely.

Add ground ginger to the scallions.

Mix in allspice, garlic powder, and scotch bonnet flakes (dehydrated peppers).

Add brown sugar and fresh thyme to the mixture.

Squeeze in the juice of half a lime.

Drizzle in olive oil to combine the marinade.

Add dark soy sauce and sea salt, then mix thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.

Trim off excess fat from the bottom side of the pork ribs.

Score the ribs lightly but do not remove the membrane.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Rub the marinade thoroughly on both sides of the ribs, ensuring full coverage.

Place the ribs in a baking tray lined with foil, crimping the edges to seal.

Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, remove the ribs and brush the rendered fat on top.

Switch the oven to broil at 550°F.

Place the ribs back in the oven uncovered under the broil setting for 3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Check that the meat has pulled away from the bones, indicating tenderness.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
