Directions
- 1
Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes until just tender but still holding their shape. Drain and set aside.
- 2
Season the pork ribs with lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, and bay leaves. Let them rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- 3
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ribs and fry, turning occasionally, until they develop a deep golden-brown crust on all sides.
- 4
Once the meat starts to caramelize, add a splash of water and let it evaporate. Add the onion rings and cook until soft and translucent.
- 5
Gently fold in the pre-cooked potatoes without breaking them up, scatter with fresh herbs, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.
💡 Chef's Tip
For maximum flavor, marinate the ribs overnight in the refrigerator. The longer the rest, the more tender and flavorful the meat will be when cooked.
