COSTILLAS GUISADAS CON PATATAS
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.
