Ingredients
Instructions
Cook The Ribs
First, cook the ribs. Place the pork ribs in a large pot, cover them with water, add a generous pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let them simmer until the meat is tender, which should take about 35-40 minutes. Once cooked, remove the ribs from the pot and drain any excess water.
Boil The Tomatoes
While the ribs are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a separate pot, boil the tomatoes until their skins start to peel. Transfer the boiled tomatoes to a blender along with the onion, garlic cloves, chipotle peppers, cumin, and black pepper. Add about a quarter cup of the water the tomatoes were cooked in to help it blend. Process until you have a smooth sauce.
Brown The Ribs
Next, brown the ribs. Heat a generous amount of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot. Carefully place the cooked ribs in the hot oil and fry until they are nicely browned on all sides. This will create a delicious, crispy texture.
Bring It All Together
Finally, bring it all together. Pour the blended chipotle-garlic sauce over the browned ribs. Add the bunch of cilantro, stir everything to combine, and check for salt, adjusting if necessary. Let the ribs simmer in the sauce for about 15 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve hot, traditionally accompanied by white rice and beans.
