Overview

This recipe for pork ribs is a delightful combination of flavors and textures, perfect for a quick yet satisfying meal. The ribs are first seared in butter, which adds a rich, savory depth to the dish. Seasoned with salt and black pepper, they are then layered over a bed of onions, which caramelize beautifully during baking, infusing the meat with sweetness.

The sauce, made with a mix of olive oil, honey, mustard, and lemon juice, is brushed generously over the ribs, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor. The addition of garlic and fresh parsley in the mashed potatoes creates a comforting side that pairs perfectly with the ribs.

To round out the meal, a fresh salad made with crisp iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and cucumbers adds a refreshing crunch. The simple dressing of olive oil, mustard, and honey ties everything together, making this dish not only delicious but also visually appealing. This recipe is a fantastic way to enjoy tender, flavorful ribs without spending hours in the kitchen.
