Mizoram Mizo Pork Spare Ribs Slow Boiled Garlic Pepper

Method

1. 1

   Place pork ribs in a heavy pot with 3 cups cold water.

2. 2

   Bring to a boil. Skim all foam thoroughly for the first 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add crushed garlic, sliced ginger, coarsely crushed black pepper, whole green chillies, turmeric and salt.

4. 4

   Reduce to medium-low. Simmer covered for 50 to 60 minutes until the ribs are very tender — the meat should be pulling away from the bone.

5. 5

   In the last 15 minutes remove the lid. Increase heat slightly to concentrate the broth and allow some evaporation.

6. 6

   The broth should be reduced, deeply flavoured from the ribs and fragrant from garlic and black pepper.

7. 7

   Garnish with spring onion. Serve with steamed rice.
