Sweet and sour 30 minute pork ribs

Sweet and sour 30 minute pork ribs 

I love pork! 

I love the fillet, the belly, t-bone chops, I also love the ham, feet and even the little curly tail. I like it stewed, fried, roasted and cured.I like free range pork and also like them wild.

Pork ribs are fantastic. all that meat, fat and bones mix together... It´s so tasty. They are even good fun; you eat them with the hands, it´s messy, tasty and rustic at the same time.

I love to cook pork very slowly until the meat becomes soft but juicy. But cooking pork for 7 to 12 hours is not always possible, I do not have the time for such long cooking sessions.  

Pork ribs give me the chance to try a different cooking approach. I put the pork ribs under a violent heat for 20 minutes so that the meat is caramelized on the outside but it still remains juicy on the inside, the fat and the bones protect the rest of the meat from drying out.

INGREDIENTS:

Half a rack of pork ribs

1 glass of white wine (or cider)

1 glass of soy sauce

1 glass of white wine vinegar (or cider vinegar)

4 gloves of garlic (finely chopped)

one piece of ginger (finely chopped)

6 tablespoons of sugar

chili powder

Put the ribs on an oven tray. Mix all the ingredients and pour it over the pork ( do not need to macerate the meat in advance). Preheat the oven to the max and put the oven tray on the top rack of the oven. It is very important to preheat the oven well enough before entering the meat.

After 12 minutes turn the meat over and wait for another 8 minutes, by this time the pork meat will be well caramelized . It is very important to keep an eye on the pork ribs so that the liquids don´t evaporate. if you see that the oven tray is running out of liquids, poor some more wine or water. Otherwise the soy sauce will burn. Bring the oven tray out of the oven and cover the ribs with tin foil for 10 more minutes.

¡it´s cooked!

I like to serve the ribs with roasted pumpkin or mashed potatoes. you can roast the pumpkin with the pork ribs. It´s so easy...
