Directions
Step 1
Bring BBQ to low heat (about 160°F/325°F). Cut pork ribs into half slabs. Rub all sides with half the olive oil. Wrap each slab in aluminum foil. Place foil packets on grill (meat-side up); with closed lid, cook 1 hr 15 min to 1 hr 30 min., turning packets over about halfway through cooking (See Tip on reducing BBQ time). The ribs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 100°C (200°F). This temperature allows fats to melt, resulting in moist and tender ribs.
Step 2
While the ribs are cooking, slice each sweet potato (unpeeled) into 8 lengthwise wedges. Place in large bowl and toss with the garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper and remaining olive oil to evenly coat. Set aside until 16 to 20 min. before end of rib-cooking time.
Step 3
Also, make the Tahini Dressing. In a small bowl, mix together the tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and salt and pepper. Stir in 3 tbsp (45 mL) hot tap water until smooth; set aside.
Step 4
At 16 to 20 min. before the ribs are done, place sweet potato wedges on the grill, cook with lid closed; turning over wedges halfway through cooking. Grill until tender. Transfer to upper rack of BBQ or serving platter; keep warm. Transfer ribs from BBQ, remove from pouches. Increase the BBQ heat to medium (about 180°C/350°F). Grill ribs 5 to 7 min. to caramelize. Rest about 5 min. before serving. Drizzle ribs and sweet potato wedges with Tahini Dressing and garnish with green onion, if desired, to serve.
