Experience the ultimate Garlic Roasted Pork Ribs with this authentic Portuguese pork recipe. By marinating spare ribs in white wine and pimenta moída, you create easy oven-baked ribs that are succulent and tender. This method ensures a crispy, golden exterior while the meat remains fall-off-the-bone soft. Perfect for home cooks seeking high-protein, Mediterranean-inspired comfort food.


Ingredients

12 pieces of pork spare ribs (approx. 1.1 kg / 2.5 lbs)White wine to taste (approx. 120 ml / 0.5 cup)1 bay leaf2 tablespoons of crushed garlic2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper sauce1 tablespoon of lard1 tablespoon of olive oil2 tablespoons of waterSalt and pepper (to taste)

Directions

  1. Whisk the white wine, garlic, red pepper sauce, lard, olive oil, and water in a large mixing bowl until the marinade is emulsified.
  2. Submerge the spare ribs into the mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure the garlic and pepper paste coats every crevice of the meat.
  3. Allow the pork to marinate in the refrigerator for several hours, letting the acidity of the wine tenderize the fibers.
  4. Preheat your oven to 180°C or 350°F.
  5. Arrange the ribs in a single layer in a glass baking dish, pouring the remaining marinade over the top.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes or until the fat has rendered and the ribs reach a deep, caramelized golden brown.

I don't have pimenta moida. Is there something I can substitute? I have massa pimento... Could I make it my myself? I have 3 of those red chili peppers...

Hi Jasmine, you can do without the pimenta moida, it does add more flavor but you can do without it. Use massa the pimentão as you do have that one. 👍👍

Usually bake pork ribs in a red wine sauce, but this is soooo simple and seems tasty. I will definitely give this a try.
