Some suggest that pork ribs can be fried and stewed. But there are a large number of options for their preparation in the oven. The recipes use marinades and side dishes, which makes the dish unlike the others. How to cook pork ribs to make the dish unusual, tasty and fragrant?
To begin with, let's try to cook according to a simple recipe with a minimum set of products. Naturally we need pork ribs. They must first be washed, dried using a paper towel, and cut or chop into the desired pieces. Next, pour a little vegetable oil into the pan and fry the ribs on each side until a brown crust appears. Then put them in a baking dish in the oven. Now in the same pan and using the same oil, we fry the onions, sliced in half rings and carrots, sliced in circles. We spread the vegetables in a mold and add a little water or broth. We put the ribs in the oven chamber. At this time, you need to peel the potatoes and cut it into medium cubes. After 30 minutes, we take out the meat from the oven and add potatoes to it. We send the dish to the oven for another half hour. After this time, the pork ribs in the oven will be ready. Serve them with fresh vegetables, slightly sprinkled with herbs. We use spices and salt to taste.
In order to make the ribs with a beautiful brown crust, you need to add a little honey to the marinade. In combination with other ingredients, it also gives the dish an unusual flavor. Take the pork ribs and cut them. Thoroughly wash, cut into the necessary pieces. Next, you need to salt the ribs and sprinkle with rosemary. In order for the meat to be juicy and tasty, you need to fry it on each side to a brown crust. This will save all the juices. Now we mix one tablespoon of any honey (excellent quality) and a teaspoon of any mustard. With this mixture, we coat the pork ribs. We spread them in a form suitable for baking in the oven. Pork ribs in the oven are cooked for about 20-30 minutes. You can make boiled rice and vegetables for a side dish to this dish.
And now I offer a dish for those who love original cuisine. Cooking pork ribs in maple syrup. This is a dish of Mexican cuisine. We need a kilogram of pork belly with ribs. We divide it into parts and send it to the oven for about half an hour. We set the temperature to about 200 degrees. While preparing the pork ribs in the oven, you need to make the sauce.
Mix 120 ml of maple syrup with one teaspoon of chili sauce and the same amount of Worcester sauce. Add to this mixture a teaspoon of wine vinegar (preferably red) and a teaspoon of dry mustard. We mix everything well. We put a bowl of sauce on the fire and add salt and any pepper. We cut onions in half rings and also pour into the sauce. Five minutes later, remove the sauce from the heat.
We take out the ribs from the oven chamber and put them in a special roasting pan. The cooking temperature is reduced to 180 degrees. Now pour the pork ribs with sauce and send back to the oven. Cook for about 50 minutes. In the process of cooking, you need to periodically pour meat on the sauce. The pork ribs in the oven are aromatic, with a sharp spicy taste. They can serve light vegetable salad.
For the preparation of ribs use any marinade. They are pre-marinated or smeared with the prepared mixture and sent to the oven. Marinade gives the meat a flavor, new flavor and beautiful appearance. For its preparation, you can use tomato paste, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic and any spices and seasonings. Fragrant herbs will make the dish more piquant, and pepper and garlic more spicy. Therefore, choose the ingredients according to your preference.
