This pork ribs recipe is how my Brazilian mom prepares them. Boiling the ribs with the seasonings ensures that the meat remains moist and juicy and that the flavors fully penetrate the meat. I hope you like these as much as I always have! Serve with lime wedges, rice, and a fresh green salad.
Ingredients
- 10 porks spareribs
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 10 sprigs fresh parsley , divided
- 10 cloves garlic , crushed
- 1 lime , juiced
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 bays leaves
- ground black pepper to taste
- 2 limes , cut into wedges
Instructions
-
1
Place spareribs into a large pot and fill with just enough water to cover. Add soy sauce, 3/4 of the parsley, garlic, lime juice, rosemary, oregano, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered until water has completely evaporated, about 25 minutes.

Remove bay leaves and continue cooking until spareribs are browned, turning occasionally. Use a spatula to scrape up browned bits and softened garlic from the bottom of the pot and toss them with spareribs; the garlic will dissolve onto meat. Remove spareribs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Season spareribs with black pepper. Garnish with lime wedges and remaining parsley to serve.

Coconut Coconut Milk Cake
This coconut cake made with coconut milk is super moist and tasty. Growing up in Brazil, this was a favorite amongst our family and friends and even converted a few into coconut lovers. Enjoy it plain, or dress it up with your favorite glaze and toasted coconut.
Sawdust Salad
This is a fruit salad or dessert that my family has always called sawdust salad because of the toasted coconut on top.
Caramel Pretzel Brownies
If you love chocolate, caramel, and pretzels mixed together, you'll love these pretzel brownies. If you have a good caramel recipe, use it; it would sure beat unwrapping all of the caramel candies! The same goes if you have a great brownie recipe.
