Pork ribs in tomato sauce, you’ve never eaten them like this before, they are delicious!
A rich dish typical of Carnival, to be served with polenta, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
This dish with tomato sauce can also be made in white with lots of onions like the Genovese of pork sausage and rind.
In the past, pork ribs in tomato sauce were prepared especially for Carnival, which is why the days leading up to this celebration are called “fat” because after Ash Wednesday, a period of penance and fasting began until Holy Easter.
Besides pork ribs, during this period we could also make pork ragù with sausage and rind.
I invite you to get some nice maccheroni made with a ferretto to best enjoy this richly flavored sauce.
But now let’s see how they are prepared.
