MAREMMA TUSCAN SPARERIBS

From Chef Ceasare of Maremma Tuscan Trattoria restaurant. His description of the ribs -which are a plan ahead recipe: "I received lots of good reviews when Beppe opened, but I only saved one, where the critic poked fun at me for serving inauthentic Tuscan food. I laugh now, but at the time it drove me crazy, especially her "proof" that there's no fish in Tuscany and no cowboys who'd eat my "Tuscan spareribs." Putting aside our miles of coastline and towns like Forte di Marmi and Viareggio (she'd obviously never left her hotel when she visited Florence), it was the cowboy reference that got me the most worked up. Granted, Americans might think of cowboys as beef - not pork - eaters. But we not only have cowboys in the Maremma - the famous butteri - when Buffalo Bill competed against them in a traveling rodeo show, he lost. Of course, you won't find a recipe for ribs this way in any Italian cookbook. They are, however, quintessentially Tuscan for me, braised alla cacciatora, or hunter's style, in a spicy tomato sauce. You also won't find broccoli rabe in Tuscany, but that's what I serve with my "inauthentic" ribs, because I like the way it compliments the smoky spiciness of the meat. This is definitely a plan-ahead dish. The spareribs need to marinate with the dry rub overnight. Plus I think they taste better if you cook them a day or two in advance and keep them in the refrigerator until the time you want to serve them."

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup garlic, minced plus
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1/4 cup fresh sage leaf, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
7 lbs pork spareribs
7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 1/2 cups canned whole tomatoes, crushed (You can use canned crushed tomatoes, but I think the whole ones are less acidic and of higher qualit)
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco)
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Ribs:
  • Combine the minced garlic, sage, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper. Rub the spareribs well with this mixture and let them marinate, wrapped in plastic, at least 24 hours or up to 48 hours, in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Coat a large baking pan with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and lay the ribs in the pan. Roast stirring, every 20 minutes. After an hour, turn the ribs over and roast 1 hour more. Check the ribs periodically; if the bottom of the pan starts to burn, add a little water. Can be done ahead 24-48 hours.
  • Sauce:.
  • Coat a large skillet with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the sliced garlic and remaining 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper and sauté over medium heat until the garlic begins to color. Add the tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper sauce. Add 1 1/2 cups water and bring the tomato sauce to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes. Taste for seasoning and set aside.
  • When the ribs have browned on both sides, remove them from the pan and drain off any excess fat. Return the ribs to the pan, adding the wine and the tomato sauce. Cover the pan with foil and braise the ribs for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and roast an additional 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons hot paprika
4 teaspoons fennel seeds
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage leaves
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3 racks baby back ribs (each about 1 3/4 pounds), membranes removed
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 small clove garlic, grated (1/4 teaspoon)
Balsamic Potato Salad, for serving

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment-lined foil. Stir together oil, 4 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, paprika, fennel seeds, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Rub mixture all over ribs. Cover; let stand at least 1 hour, or refrigerate up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roast ribs, uncovered, until meat is tender, 2 hours. (Ribs can be allowed to cool completely at this point and stored, covered, in refrigerator up to 3 days.) Switch oven to broil, with a rack 6 inches from heating element. Stir together vinegar and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Brush ribs with half of glaze. Broil until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Brush with remaining glaze, if desired. Cut into pieces and serve, alongside potato salad.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork ribs for the best flavor and texture. Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling.
  • Make sure to trim the ribs properly before cooking. Remove any excess fat or connective tissue.
  • Use a variety of seasonings and spices to flavor the ribs. Common choices include garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. Braising or roasting are good methods for cooking ribs.
  • Baste the ribs with a flavorful sauce during the cooking process to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:

Tuscan-style spare ribs are a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual meal. The combination of herbs, spices, and slow cooking creates a tender and succulent rib that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home and enjoy the taste of Italy in your own kitchen.
