Pork ribs can be prepared in a variety of ways. They are especially tasty if fried in a pan. This is quite simple to do, and it will take a little time.
How to cook pork ribs deliciously
To make the dish tasty, you must use fresh and natural meat. A homemade product works best. When buying pork ribs, it is important to pay attention to their appearance and smell. The meat should have a natural color, without yellowing on the fat layer. If a cloudy liquid is released when you press on it, this indicates not the first freshness of the product.
The success of the delicious pork ribs lies in the marinade. Various ingredients can be used to prepare it. For example, mayonnaise, beer, honey. Be sure to add spices that give a good and rich flavor. The main condition for the meat to be tasty is to marinate it for at least a few hours. Then it will be much juicier and softer.
Fry pork ribs only in a well-heated frying pan. To prevent the meat from being soggy, stew it with marinade or plain water. It is best to use a cast iron skillet for frying.
Do not cook pork ribs for too long to dry them out. At the beginning of frying, do not cover the meat with a lid; do this during the stewing process, only after the crust has appeared.
Properly cooked pork ribs are a good option for the main course, both on a regular day and on a holiday. The whole feature is that the meat on the bone is especially juicy. And it doesn't take much time and effort to prepare it.
