Dish story
Pork ribs are part of many Mexican culinary traditions, where slow-cooked meats and sauces made from dried chillies have created some of the country's most beloved dishes.
Chipotle, one of the most iconic ingredients in Mexican cuisine, is made by smoking and drying ripe jalapeño peppers. This ancient preservation technique creates deep smoky flavours and a distinctive character that has become essential in Mexican sauces, marinades and stews.
The pairing of pork ribs and chipotle is especially popular because the rich, slightly sweet flavour of pork complements the smoky heat of the chilli. When cooked slowly, the ribs absorb the flavours of the sauce and develop a tender texture that easily falls from the bone.
Today, Chipotle Pork Ribs represent the spirit of traditional Mexican home cooking, where patience, fire and chillies play a central role.
Cutzamala version
At Cutzamala, our Chipotle Pork Ribs begin with a half rack of pork ribs slowly cooked until exceptionally tender and juicy. They are then glazed with our homemade chipotle sauce, carefully balanced to deliver smoky depth, gentle heat and subtle sweetness.
The dish is served with accompaniments designed to complement the richness of the ribs and enhance the flavours of the sauce, making it one of the restaurant's signature dishes.
A recipe that captures the essence of Mexican cooking: time, craftsmanship and bold flavour.
