Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 kg veal ribs
- 1 kg potatoes
- 5 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons pepper paste
- A pinch of marjoram
- A pinch of nutmeg
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 150 ml olive oil (or vegetable oil)
Preparing the veal ribs:
1. Preparing the meat: Rinse the veal ribs well under cold running water, then cut them into suitable pieces. Blanch the ribs to remove impurities and achieve a more tender texture. After boiling for a few minutes, discard the water.
2. Preparing the marinade: In a bowl, crush the garlic cloves with a knife or a crusher. Add the pepper paste, marjoram, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and oil. Mix each ingredient well to obtain a homogeneous and aromatic marinade.
3. Coating the meat: Place the veal ribs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each piece is evenly coated with the spice mixture. Let the meat marinate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
4. Preparing the potatoes: Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, wash them well, and cut them into quarters. They will be the perfect side dish for your delicious meal.
5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the dish with the ribs in the oven and let it bake for one hour. It is important to check occasionally, adding a little water to the dish to prevent the meat from burning.
6. Adding the potatoes: After an hour, remove the dish from the oven and add the cut potatoes. Gently mix to coat them with the aromatic sauce. Return the dish to the oven and let everything bake for another 30-40 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and golden, and the ribs are tender and appetizing.
Serving:
The oven-baked veal ribs are served warm, alongside the baked potatoes. A delicious idea is to add some pickled donuts on the plate for a contrast of flavors and textures. This dish pairs perfectly with a glass of red wine, which will perfectly complement the taste of the meat.
Practical tips:
- You can replace the pepper paste with fresh red peppers, which you can blend, or with sweet paprika for a more subtle flavor.
- If you desire a spicier note, add balsamic vinegar or a few drops of chili sauce to the marinade.
- Instead of marjoram, you can experiment with other herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different flavor.
Calories and nutritional benefits:
