In jar of a blender, combine orange juice, lime juice, garlic, adobo sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, thyme, cumin, pepper and coriander and process to puree. Stir in zest. Transfer to large resealable bag and add pork. Set aside in refrigerator overnight.

Notes, Tips & Suggestions

Recipe provided by Michelle Bernstein Serving Suggestions:
Stay in the Caribbean style and serve these ribs with grilled plantains or coconut rice. If you like, you can use the mojo marinade on other cuts of pork as well - try it with roasts, chops and tenderloins.
