Recipe for Oven-Baked Pork Ribs with Yogurt and Mint Sauce
Ingredients:
For Pork Ribs:
- 28 oz pork ribs (4 bones)
- 1 oz pistachios, chopped
- 1 oz fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 oz fresh chives, chopped
- 1 oz grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 oz panko breadcrumbs
- 2 oz olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Yogurt Sauce:
- 2 oz natural yogurt
- 1/2 oz fresh mint, chopped
- 1/2 oz lemon juice
- 1 oz olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a food processor, combine chopped pistachios, parsley, chives, grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and 1 oz of olive oil. Pulse until finely chopped, creating the herb topping.
- Season the pork ribs with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork ribs until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared pork ribs onto a baking sheet.
- Spread the herb topping over the pork ribs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Bake the pork ribs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and the topping is golden and crispy. Cooking time varies, but typically 25-30 minutes per kilogram of meat at 375°F (180-190°C).
- Slice the ribs between the bones and serve hot with the fresh yogurt sauce on top.
Yogurt Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together yogurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir well to combine.
- Season the yogurt sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
