Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Marinating Time: 120 minutes
Baking Time: 40-45 minutes
Total: 2 hours and 15 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 500-600 g of potatoes
- 4-6 pork ribs
- 100 g of parmesan or cheese
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- salt, pepper to taste
- oil for frying
- butter for greasing the pan
- For the marinade:
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 3-4 crushed garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 150 ml of semi-sweet white wine
- salt, paprika
Preparation:
1. Preparing the marinade:
Start by preparing the marinade that will flavor the pork ribs. In a bowl, combine the chopped onion, crushed garlic, melted butter, and white wine. Add salt and paprika to taste. Mix all ingredients well and let them blend.
2. Marinating the ribs:
Place the pork ribs in the marinade and ensure they are completely covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours. This step is essential to transform the meat into a succulent and flavorful delicacy.
3. Preparing the potatoes:
While the ribs are marinating, take care of the potatoes. Wash them well, then peel them. Cut them into suitable cubes, about 2-3 cm. This size will ensure even baking.
4. Seasoning the potatoes:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Grease a baking tray with butter and place the cut potatoes in it. Sprinkle fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper on top. Gently mix to combine the flavors. Place the tray in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes become golden and crispy.
5. Cooking the ribs:
After the ribs have marinated, take them out of the refrigerator. Heat a little oil in a pan. You can also use a grill if you prefer a smokier flavor. Fry the ribs on each side for about 5-7 minutes, until they are browned and beautifully caramelized.
6. Finishing the dish:
Once the potatoes are ready, take them out of the oven and, if desired, add grated parmesan or cheese on top. Put the tray back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, so the cheese melts and forms a golden crust.
7. Serving:
Once all the ingredients are cooked, arrange the pork ribs and potatoes on a platter. You can add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary for a decorative touch and extra aroma.
Serving suggestion:
This dish pairs perfectly with a fresh green salad or coleslaw. A glass of semi-sweet white wine will harmoniously complement the flavors of this dish.
Helpful tips:
- You can also add other spices to the marinade, such as thyme or oregano, to provide an even more complex flavor.
- If you want a spicier version, add a bit of chopped chili pepper to the marinade.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the pan or grill; leave enough space between pieces to allow for even frying.
