How to cook ribs correctly

Ingredients:

  • ribs - 800 g
  • prunes - 300-400 g
  • spices for meat - to taste
  • bay leaf - 4-5 pcs.
  • allspice - 4 pcs.
  • salt - to taste

Method of preparation:

1. Cut the ribs, wash them, and cover with water for 30-40 minutes to remove excess blood. Then rinse them again and put them on a plate covered with a napkin. Blot the top with another napkin, removing excess moisture so that the ribs are dry.

Ribs with spices

2. Sprinkle the spices over the meat and rub each rib. Leave for 10-15 minutes and then fry on all sides in a little oil over medium heat.

Fried ribs

3. Put the roasted ribs in a saucepan or multicooker bowl. Cover with water (so that it covers the ribs by 1 cm), add salt, bay leaf, and allspice. Simmer for 50 minutes (the "stew" mode). If you are using a saucepan, bring the water to a boil, put it on low heat, and simmer under the lid.
