Recipe of Chilean-style pork ribs roasted in the oven
Vida Recetas Editorial
Chilean-style pork ribs roasted in the oven is a traditional recipe that stands out for its smoky and spicy flavor, thanks to merkén and paprika. This cut, juicy and tender, is marinated with garlic, parsley, and oregano, and baked slowly with an aromatic liquid that includes white wine, apple cider vinegar, and pork broth. The result is meat that falls off the bone, with a caramelized crust thanks to the tomato sauce brushed on at the end.
Ideal for family gatherings or celebrations, this dish is perfect for those seeking a hearty and traditional Chilean option. Its preparation requires time, but the result is worth it. Additionally, it's versatile: you can adjust the heat level to your taste by increasing or decreasing the merkén.
It is traditionally served with mashed potatoes, salads, or rice, and its intense flavor pairs well with red wines or beer. If you're looking for a dish that impresses your guests, these ribs are an excellent choice.
