Ingredients
- 60 ml (¼ cup) olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) dried oregano
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) dried rosemary
- 5 ml (1 teaspoon) salt
- 2.5 ml (1/2 teaspoon) black pepper
- 2 lemons, juiced, with both juice and rinds reserved
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) red wine (optional)
- 1.3 Kg (3 pounds) pork ribs, cut into individual pieces
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, pepper, lemon juice and rinds, and red wine (if using). Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Add the ribs to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are well coated. Allow the ribs to marinate, refrigerated, for at least 8 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Remove ribs from the marinade and arrange in a single layer in a baking dish or roasting pan. Bake the ribs for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 150°C (300°F) and continue baking the ribs for an additional hour.
4. Check the ribs for doneness by inserting a fork into the meat. If it easily slides in and out, the ribs are ready. If not, continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes. Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
