Mom's Stovetop Pork Ribs

This pork ribs recipe is how my Brazilian mom prepares them. Boiling the ribs with the seasonings ensures that the meat remains moist and juicy and that the flavors fully penetrate the meat. I hope you like these as much as I always have! Serve with lime wedges, rice, and a fresh green salad.

Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

10 pork spareribs
½ cup soy sauce
10 sprigs fresh parsley, divided
10 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 bay leaves
ground black pepper to taste
2 limes, cut into wedges

Directions

Place spareribs into a large pot and fill with just enough water to cover. Add soy sauce, 3/4 of the parsley, garlic, lime juice, rosemary, oregano, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered until water has completely evaporated, about 25 minutes.
Remove bay leaves and continue cooking until spareribs are browned, turning occasionally. Use a spatula to scrape up browned bits and softened garlic from the bottom of the pot and toss them with spareribs; the garlic will dissolve onto meat. Remove spareribs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Season spareribs with black pepper. Garnish with lime wedges and remaining parsley to serve.

Recipe Tips

If you use fresh herbs instead of dry, double the amounts.

You can use cilantro instead of parsley.

The Best Post-Workout Shake

This is the best post-workout shake. It's delicious, nutritious, and filling — a perfect drink after a hard workout at the gym. I've been drinking it every morning for years after I finish my workout around 8 am, and I stay full until 11:30 am!

Grandma's Banana Pudding

My grandma's old-fashioned banana pudding recipe was always something she made from memory, but I let her talk it out so I could write it down. She ran a country club and restaurant in her day; she can make amazing food, but she doesn't measure anything and makes most foods from memory.

Good New Orleans Creole Gumbo

I am going to give you my Creole gumbo recipe. I learned to cook from my mother and grandmother who were born and raised in New Orleans and really knew how to cook. Most of the time, you could not get them to write down their recipes because they used a "pinch" of this and "just enough of that" and so on. This recipe is a combination of both of their recipes which I have added to over the years. Serve over hot cooked rice.
