Preheat grill or oven to medium-high heat.

Rub the pork ribs with olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Marinate the ribs for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Place the ribs on the grill or in a roasting pan, bone side down.

Cook the ribs for 2-3 hours, basting with a mixture of red wine vinegar, honey, and tomato sauce every 30 minutes.

Check for tenderness; the meat should be falling off the bone.

Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
