The kind of Spanish food I love… because it’s definitely not all just paella 🇪🇸🔥
Spanish Braised Pork Ribs with Potatoes
One of those dishes that fills the house with the kind of smell that makes you keep walking back into the kitchen to check if it’s ready.
And before anybody says anything… yes, I know I’m using a wooden board to chop my ribs 😂
And no, it’s not the same board I used for the vegetables. I do own more than one 👊
Ingredients
1.5kg pork ribs
2 carrots, diced
1 large onion, diced
5 garlic cloves, sliced
2 bay leaves
Splash of red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
Glass of white wine
500ml chicken stock
4 large potatoes (around 1kg)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
Fresh parsley
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt & black pepper
Method
Slice the ribs into individual ribs then cut each rib into 2 or 3 pieces. If you don’t fancy wrestling pork ribs with a knife, ask your butcher nicely.
Add the ribs to a bowl, season generously with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and brown all over in a hot pan.
Once browned remove the ribs from the pan and turn the heat down low. Add another drizzle of olive oil then add the carrots, onion and garlic with a pinch of salt and cook for around 10 minutes until softened.
Return the ribs to the pan, turn the heat up and add the bay leaves, white wine and vinegar. Let reduce slightly.
Pour in the chicken stock, mix everything together, cover and simmer gently for around 1 hour or until the ribs are tender and falling apart.
While the ribs cook, peel and cube the potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the paprika and cumin. Traditionally you’d just fry them with salt and pepper but I think cumin and paprika make everything taste better 👊
Air fry the potatoes at 200°C for around 25 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. Depending how big you cut them they may take longer or less time.
Once the ribs are ready, remove them from the pan and set aside. Remove the bay leaves.
Using a ladle, take a couple of ladlefuls of the vegetables along with some of the cooking liquid and blend until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan along with the ribs and simmer over a high heat for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
