Pork Ribs in Pot with White Wine

This dish is an alternative way to cook ribs without using the grill. The traditional way is to use 250 ml of water but here we used 2 litres. Feel free to change to suit your liking.

INGREDIENTS

250 ml or up to 2 litres water
½ vegetable stock cube
1 carrot
1 stick celery
1 onion
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons rosemary
2 tablespoons sage
10 pork ribs
1 glass white wine
salt & pepper

METHOD

Boil the water with the stock in a pot.

Cut the carrot, celery and onion in pieces and then place all the ingredients in a pan to brown with oil, rosemary and sage for 3–4 minutes.

When browned, place the ribs in the pot and add boiled water and white wine. Cook everything for 30 minutes, removing the fat that emerges on the surface with a perforated spoon. When the ribs are well cooked, add salt and pepper and serve. Serves 6–8.
