Ingredients

  • 3 pound bone-in country style pork ribs
  • 3 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon carrot, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 4 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoon bay leaves
  • 2 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Pat the ribs dry and season with salt and pepper.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and brown the ribs on all sides, working in batches if needed.

Remove the ribs and set aside.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the Dutch oven and reduce the heat to medium.

Add the onions, carrots, celery, salt, and pepper and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, to remove the raw flavor, about 3 minutes.

Deglaze the pan with the vinegar, and then add the red pepper flakes and bay leaves.

Add the ribs back to the pan and add enough stock to reach halfway up the sides of the ribs.

Bring the pan to a simmer, cover, and place in the oven.

Braise until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

During the last half hour, uncover to allow the liquid to reduce and the pork to brown.

Serve the ribs with creamy polenta, spooning the sauce on top, and garnishing with parsley.
