Portuguese Ribs with Port Wine Sauce Recipe

1. If you've bought the ribs in strips, the first thing to do is cut them at the joints.
2. Heat a pot or deep pan over medium heat with 40 ml (2.7 tbsp) of olive oil.
3. Add the ribs and cook them for a few minutes until well seared on all sides.
4. Remove the meat and add the chopped onion, minced garlic, chili pepper, a bit of oregano, and thyme to the pan, and cook until the onion is soft.
5. Transfer this onion mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
6. Return the ribs to the pan along with the blended sauce.
7. Add salt and pepper.
8. After 2–3 minutes, pour in the Port wine.
9. Let it reduce slightly so the alcohol evaporates, then add the beef stock.
10. Cover the pan and cook until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened into a creamy consistency.
11. Serve the ribs with a side of rice.
