Ingredients

• 2 lbs Pork spareribs
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Red chili flakes
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 Red chili, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Pat the spareribs dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the spareribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the ribs to a baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 75 minutes.

Step 4

While the ribs are baking, begin preparing the chili and cream sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the red chili flakes to the pan and stir for 30 seconds to release their flavor.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and lime juice. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Once the ribs are done baking, remove them from the oven and discard the foil. Pour the chili and cream sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 9

Switch the oven to broil and return the baking dish to the oven. Broil the ribs for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and slightly caramelized.

Step 10

Remove the ribs from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley and sliced red chili (if desired), and serve hot.
