Yield: 4
Cuisine: Portuguese
Ingredients: 2 kg Pork Ribs (Entrecosto); 200 g Tomato passata; 1.5 kg Potato; 50 g Red Pepper Paste; 3 g Garlic Powder; 2 folhas Bay Leaf; 2 g Fresh rosemary; 1 c/ch Piri-Piri; 50 ml Olive Oil; 1 c/ch Salt; 1 c/ch Black Pepper

Method

Pat the pork ribs dry with kitchen paper without washing them. Mix the tomato pulp, pepper paste, garlic powder, chilli, half the salt and pepper, and 25 ml of olive oil.
Coat the ribs with the mixture and add the bay leaves. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 180 °C. Put the ribs and marinade in a large roasting tray with 100 ml of water. Cover with foil and roast for 60 minutes.
Peel the potatoes and cut into 3 cm wedges. Toss with the remaining 25 ml of olive oil, the reserved salt and pepper, and the rosemary leaves.
Remove the foil and spread the potatoes around the ribs in one layer. Roast for another 60 to 90 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones and the potatoes are soft inside.
Rest for 10 minutes before serving. Add 100 ml of hot water during roasting if the tray becomes dry.
