Potatoes with Pork Ribs Stew

A popular dish in my grandma´s home, my mum is pursuing me to post it on the blog, so here it is.  As I said it was a frequent meal in my grandparent´s home and logically in my own home as well. It is a cheap and filling course, and still is very easy to findoin the Spanish family tables.

Ingredients for 4 people:

-1 Kg.(2 Lb) Pork Ribs.

-6 medium Potatoes.

-1 Onion.

-1 Green Bell Pepper.

-2 Garlic Cloves.

-1 Bay Leaf.

-½ Cup of White Wine.

-Paprika or a pinch of Spanish Saffron Threads.

-Spanish Olive Oil.

-Salt.

In a pot pour olive oil till it covers the bottom, heat up the oil and add the seasoned ribs separated in individual pieces, when the ribs get brown take them out of the pot, place the chopped veggies (Onion, Green Bell Pepper, Garlic Cloves)  in the same pot and poached them with the same oil we used to brown the ribs (always add a pinch of salt to accelerate the process). When the vegetables are soft put the ribs back and add the bay leaf, the ½ Cup of white wine, the paprika or the saffron threads and add water enough to cover all the ingredients.

With the pot at medium heat, peel the potatoes and cut them but break them at the end (this way the starch is liberated and the broth becomes thicker), add to the stew and let it cook till the potatoes are soft.

Season to your liking and READY TO EAT!
