If you don't, use the lesser amount of caliente. If you can't get shallots or scallions, use more onion. There really isn't any acceptable substitute for allspice and fresh grated ginger root. PURISTS BE FOREWARNED: This is a marinate/parboil/quick-grill recipe. If you don't like that, please hit "n" now. The idea is to minimize the amount of work that has to be done at the cooking site in order to serve a lot of tasty ribs to a large number of people fairly quickly. Preparation: To prepare the dried peppers, boil 2 cups of water. Turn off heat and steep the peppers 10 minutes in the hot water. Stem, seed, and chop the peppers finely. Unwrap the ribs and use a heavy kitchen knife or cleaver to chop each slab in half about in the middle (6-7 ribs down). Or if you like, you can have your butcher do this for you. Put all marinade ingredients except beer in food processor or blender and blend or process until thoroughly mixed and chopped. It doesn't have to be pureed -- I prefer it a bit on the chunky side. Place a layer half-slabs into the pot. Pour on some marinade, then poke with a fork, turn, and rub the marinade well into the meat. If you made it hot hot, wear the gloves, watch the eyes, etc. Repeat layers for the remaining meat and marinade. Pour any remaining marinade over the top. Cover and marinate either four hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator. In the morning, preheat oven to 300++F/150++C. Pour the beers slowly down the side of the pot. Cover and cook 2 hours. Baste occasionally to keep ribs on top moist. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about a half an hour. For transport to the grilling site, either remove slabs from the pot or put each pot in a plastic garbage bag to prevent grease and marinade from sloshing out. To finish, grill about five minutes per side or more over low heat, basting with your favorite BBQ sauce or the marinade. Now pour yourself a beer, chomp into a slab, and raise a toast to the pig...
