Spare ribs rice with chorizo in the oven | Portuguese Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 650 g spare ribs in pieces
• 1 chopped onion
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 tablespoons tomato pulp
• 1 tablespoon sweet pepper
• 1 teaspoon of pepper
• 100 ml of white wine
• 1/2 chorizo
• 375 g of carolino rice
• 750 ml of hot water (2x the rice measurement)
• Olive oil q.s.
• Salt q.s.
• Fresh parsley or coriander (optional)

PREPARATION:

Place the pieces in a large bowl. Season with salt. Mix everything together very well and let it marinate for about 2 hours.

In a pan, heat a little olive oil and place the spare ribs to seal, until it takes on color. Once the spare ribs are well sealed with this fantastic color and well toasted, remove them and place them on a platter and set aside.

In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion, chopped garlic cloves, add the bay leaves, tomato pulp and mix everything together. Season with paprika and pepper and mix everything together.

Drizzle with white wine and add the chorizo and season with salt.

Add the already washed carolino rice and mix everything together. Water with hot water (2x the rice measurement). Let it boil. Add the chopped parsley, mix everything together and let it cook for only half the time needed.

Add the spare ribs and let it cook for around 10 minutes.

Transfer the rice with the spare ribs to an oven-proof tray. Distribute the chorizo cut into slices over the rice.

Place in the preheated oven 200ºC with the resistors turned on during 15 minutes or until the rice is golden on top.

Serve the ribs rice hot, accompanied by a tomato or lettuce salad, depending on your taste. It's ready to serve!
