Sweet Heat Country-Style Pork Ribs

2 small or 1 large very ripe papaya, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped 1/2 cup dry white wine 1/4 cup fresh lime juice3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger2 tablespoons soy sauce2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder2 teaspoons hot Hungarian paprika5-6 pounds country-style pork ribsCooking sprayIn a food processor, combine the papaya, wine, lime juice, ginger, soy sauce, five-spice powder and paprika. Pulse until smooth.Place the ribs in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add the marinade and turn the ribs several times to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours. Let the meat come to room temperature before grilling.Prepare a grill for indirect cooking. With charcoal, light and preheat the grill. Once heated, divide the coals into two piles on either side. The center should have no coals in it. Alternatively, move all of the coals to one side. During cooking, add fresh coals to maintain the heat at medium.With gas, preheat the grill until very hot (about 400 to 450 degrees) by lighting all the burners, then turn off the center burner (in the case of three-burner grills) or turn off one side (for two-burner models). The burner or burners left on should be set to medium during cooking.Lift the ribs from the dish and scrape off most of the marinade. Discard the marinade. Set the ribs, meat side down, over the hottest part of the grill and sear for about 10 minutes, or until there are defined grill marks on the meat.Transfer the ribs to the cooler part of the grill, cover and cook for about 1 1/2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the meatiest part of the ribs registers 160 degrees. Turn the ribs every 15-20 minutes during cooking. Cut the ribs between the bones to serve.Serving six to eight.Cook's note: Though intended for country-style ribs, which are cut from the blade end of the loin and are meatier than other rib cuts, this recipe also can be used for spareribs.Nutrition values per serving: 533 calories, 38 g fat (14 g saturated), 1 g carbohydrates, 0 fiber, 43 g protein, 155 mg cholesterol, 128 mg sodium."Lobel's Prime Time Grilling" by Stanley, Leon, Evan, Mark and David Lobel(2007 Wiley, $27.95)
