Ribs with Peas and Potatoes

I can guide you through the preparation of ribs with peas and potatoes, a hearty and flavorful dish. Here are the ingredients and the preparation process.

Ingredients

• 1 kg of pork ribs
• 500 g of fresh or frozen peas
• 3-4 medium potatoes
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 sprig of rosemary
• 200 ml of meat broth or water
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Start by cleaning the ribs, removing any excess fat residues.
2. Cut the potatoes into not-too-small pieces and set aside.
3. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
4. In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil and add the chopped onion and garlic. Let them sauté until they become translucent.
5. Add the pork ribs and brown them on all sides until they take on color.
6. Add the cut potatoes and rosemary, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Pour in the meat broth or water and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let it cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes.
8. After that time, add the peas and continue cooking for another 20-30 minutes, until the meat is tender and the potatoes and peas are well cooked.
9. If the liquid dries out too much during cooking, add more water or broth as needed.
10. Once everything is well cooked, check for seasoning and serve hot.

Curiosity

Pork ribs are a very precious and flavorful cut, often used in Italian rustic cuisine. Their meat, rich in connective tissue, becomes extraordinarily tender and tasty if cooked slowly and with moisture. Peas are an excellent complement due to their sweet taste and tender texture, and together with potatoes they create a dish that tastes like home and comfort.
