Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork spare ribs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Large onion, sliced
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 2 Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Cut the pork spare ribs into individual ribs.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the ribs to the pot and brown them on all sides. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Work in batches if necessary. Remove the ribs and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the sliced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the honey, apple cider vinegar, and tomato paste. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 9

Add the bay leaves, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 10

Return the ribs to the pot, ensuring they are covered with the sauce.

Step 11

Cover the pot with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 12

Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours or until the ribs are very tender.

Step 13

Once cooked, remove the ribs from the pot and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 14

Discard the bay leaves. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce.

Step 15

Serve the ribs drizzled with the sauce and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
