Method
- Cut the ribs into pieces between the bones and season with half the salt and the pepper. Heat the olive oil in a conventional heavy saucepan and brown the ribs for 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside.
- Chop the onion and soften in the same pan for 5 minutes. Add the tomato pulp and stir for 2 minutes.
- Return the ribs and add 1.5 litres of hot water. Cover and simmer gently for 50 to 60 minutes until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bones. Remove the meat, discard the bones and break into pieces.
- Strain and measure 1.4 litres of cooking broth, topping up with hot water if needed. Return to the heat with the 400 g of carolino rice and remaining salt. Cook uncovered over medium heat for 15 to 18 minutes.
- Add the meat for the last 5 minutes and stir gently. Add another 100 ml of hot water if needed. Serve immediately, with the rice tender and still soupy.
Shopping tip
