Meat - Sweet and spicy pork ribs with new potatoes side dish by Svetlana K. - Recipia

Sweet-spicy pork ribs with new potatoes are prepared in a single tray, without many complicated steps. The ribs are simply seasoned, then brushed with a mixture of honey, soy sauce, and chili pepper jam. New potatoes, mixed with olive oil, melted butter, and parsley paste, are added to the same tray. Halfway through baking, both the ribs and the potatoes are turned to brown evenly. Quick Info Preparation time: not specified in the original recipe Baking time: 50-60 minutes Total time: approximately 50-60 minutes, excluding the time needed to prepare the ingredients Servings: not specified; the quantity is suitable for multiple servings Difficulty: easy Recipe type: main course, pork ribs with new potato side Ingredients For the ribs Approximately 1 kg pork ribs with bone Salt, to taste Pepper, to taste 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon chili pepper jam For the side 1 kg new potatoes, preferably as small as possible 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon melted butter 1 tablespoon parsley paste Salt, to taste Pepper, to taste For serving Chili pepper jam, approximately 1 teaspoon The parsley paste used here is made from finely chopped parsley, stored in a jar with salt and olive oil. Preparation method 1. Preparing the ribs Cut the ribs into suitable pieces, wash them, and dry them well with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper on all sides. Drying is useful before seasoning and brushing, as the honey and soy sauce mixture will adhere better to the meat. 2. Preparing the sauce for the ribs In a small bowl, mix the honey with the soy sauce and chili pepper jam. Stir until you achieve a uniform consistency. Brush the ribs with this mixture, then massage them with your hands so that the sauce covers all surfaces. No extra spices are needed; the ribs have already been seasoned with salt and pepper. 3. Preparing the potatoes Wash the new potatoes under running water. To remove any dirt, scrub them with a kitchen sponge with an abrasive surface. Peeling is not necessary. Cut the potatoes in half and place them in a bowl. Season them with salt and pepper. 4. The mixture for the side In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil, melted butter, and parsley paste. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and combine everything with your hands, ensuring each piece is covered. 5. Arranging in the tray Place the ribs in a tray lined with baking paper. Arrange the potatoes next to the meat in a single layer as much as possible. It is important that the pieces have space between them so that the sauce and fat can evenly reach the meat and potatoes during baking. 6. Baking Put the tray in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius. Bake for 50-60 minutes. After halfway through the baking time, take out the tray and turn the ribs and potatoes. Put the tray back in the oven and continue baking until the end of the interval. The exact duration may vary depending on the thickness of the ribs and the oven, so check the dish towards the end of the indicated time. The sauce on the ribs will brown during baking, and the potatoes should be tender. 7. Serving Serve the ribs hot, along with the new potatoes. At the table, you can place about a teaspoon of chili pepper jam for each serving or for the entire tray, according to preference. Why I make this recipe often The recipe is practical when I want to prepare both the meat and the side in the same tray. The ribs do not require a complicated marinade, and the mixture of honey, soy sauce, and chili pepper jam is quick to prepare. The small potatoes are easy to prepare and do not need peeling, which shortens the working time. Tips and variations Tips Choose new potatoes as small as possible, so that the halves bake in the same time as the ribs. If they are of different sizes, the larger ones may remain firmer, while the smaller ones may brown too quickly. Dry the ribs before seasoning and brushing. The sauce will distribute better on the surface of the meat. Turn both the ribs and the potatoes halfway through the time. This step helps to brown more evenly and prevents the ingredients from cooking only on one side. Respect the amount of chili pepper jam in the mixture if you do not want the sauce to be too spicy. For serving, it can be added separately, so everyone can adjust to their taste. Substitutions If you do not have prepared parsley paste, the original recipe does not indicate a direct alternative. The paste used should contain finely chopped parsley, salt, and olive oil. The melted butter in the mixture for the potatoes can only be used in the specified amount in the recipe. It contributes to the flavor of the side, along with the olive oil and parsley paste. For a less spicy flavor, you can keep the chili pepper jam just for serving, but this changes the sweet-spicy character of the ribs. In the basic recipe, a teaspoon is used directly in the mixture for brushing the meat. Variations You can vary the amount of salt and pepper depending on how salty the soy sauce is and the taste of the chili pepper jam. Since these ingredients already have a pronounced flavor, it is better to season moderately at first. If you prepare a larger or smaller amount of meat, keep the proportions of the mixture of honey, soy sauce, and chili pepper jam. The baking time may differ if the rib pieces are thicker or thinner. Serving ideas Serve the ribs immediately after baking, along with the potatoes from the tray. The chili pepper jam can be placed in a small bowl, to be added according to taste. The parsley and butter potatoes are already the side of the recipe, so no separate preparation is needed. The remaining sauce in the tray can be left over the meat and potatoes when serving. Frequently asked questions Can I use boneless pork ribs? The recipe is calculated for approximately 1 kg of pork ribs with bone. Boneless ribs can only be used if you have this option available, but the thickness of the pieces may change the baking time. Do I need to peel the new potatoes? No. The potatoes are washed well and scrubbed with an abrasive kitchen sponge, then cut in half. In the basic recipe, the skin is not removed. When do I turn the ribs and potatoes? The tray is removed after half of the baking time has passed. If the total time is 50-60 minutes, the turning is done approximately after 25-30 minutes. Can I put more chili pepper jam over the ribs? Yes, the jam can be served separately and added to taste. In the brushing mixture, 1 teaspoon is used, and at serving, another approximately 1 teaspoon can be placed alongside. Can everything be prepared in advance? The ribs and potatoes can be prepared before baking, but it is preferable to put them in the oven after they have been mixed with the sauce and oil. This way, the potatoes do not sit unnecessarily in the wet mixture, and the ribs bake directly with the honey and soy glaze. Nutritional values The values below are estimates and depend on how much fat the ribs have, the actual amount of sauce left on the meat, and the number of servings. The calculation is indicative for 4 servings, using all the mentioned ingredients. For one serving: Calories: approximately 850-950 kcal Proteins: approximately 40-45 g Lipids: approximately 50-60 g Carbohydrates: approximately 60-70 g Fiber: approximately 5-6 g Most of the protein and fat comes from the pork ribs. The potatoes, honey, and chili pepper jam mainly contribute to the carbohydrate content, while the olive oil and butter increase the fat intake of the side. The values may be lower if part of the visible fat from the ribs is removed or if the dish is divided into more servings. Storage and reheating If there are leftovers, keep the ribs and potatoes in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It is recommended to be consumed within 2 days. For reheating, place the meat and potatoes in a tray and heat them in the oven until well warmed. The potatoes may dry out if reheated too much, so check them periodically. The chili pepper jam is better added at serving, not before storage.
