instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).

    2

    Start by rubbing the pork ribs with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

    4

    Add diced carrot and celery to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

    5

    Pour in the red wine and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly reduced.

    6

    Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, and oregano to the skillet, stirring well to combine.

    7

    In a baking dish, place the seasoned pork ribs and pour the sauce mixture over them.

    8

    Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the ribs are tender and falling off the bone.

    9

    Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5-10 minutes, then serve with your favorite sides.

How to be creative
  • Add a layer of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor twist.

  • Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese just before serving.
Important Tips
  • Ensure you let the ribs rest after cooking for better juiciness.
  • Marinate the ribs overnight in the seasoning for a deeper flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check if the ribs reach an internal temperature of 195-203 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal tenderness.
