Braised Pork Ribs with Orange

Ingredients

• 2 lb pork ribs
• 2 medium orange
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1.5 lb potatoes
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp parsley

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the 2 lb pork ribs with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high and brown the ribs on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   In the same pot, add 1 sliced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook over medium until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add 1 cup chicken broth and the juice of 1 orange, scraping up any browned bits. Return the ribs to the pot, cover, and simmer over low heat until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, peel and chop the 1.5 lb potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with 2 tbsp butter and salt to taste.

5. 5

   Once the ribs are tender, remove them and keep warm. Boil the sauce over medium-high until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the zest of 1 orange and 2 tbsp chopped parsley.

6. 6

   Serve the ribs with the orange sauce spooned over, alongside the mashed potatoes and garnished with orange slices.

7. 7

   Optional: add a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika to the sauce for extra depth.
