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.
Preparation Details
Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 1 hr
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 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
Steps
- 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.
