Spareribs Pan-Roasted with Sage and White wine, Treviso style
Another keeper from Essentials!
I am coming to appreciate the proper browning of the meat to develop the fond and the flavor it gives you in the resulting pan juices.
The pork ribs are first browned in a large skillet. Mine just fit—I almost had to take one out.
After they are nice and brown you add white wine, fresh sage and garlic. Then you simply let them “pan-roast” on top of the stove.
I had more juice left in the pan during cooking and never had to add any water. At the end, I did add water to make a gravy/sauce which was perfect with the ribs over polenta.
Now I really want to go to Treviso!
Jan, once again you have whetted my appetite! I know this would be a delicious addition to anyone’s favorite recipes!
Brava!!
Hey, Mindy, just FYI, it was me not Sandi.
I made these this week too. Delicious!
Wonderful job Jan!
Browning reactions are so important, without them we would not have caramel, coffee, etc.
Your dish looks divine and I hope you will visit Treviso some day. During the crespelle chapter, I waxed rhapsodic on a dish in Treviso, crespelle con radicchio. I hope to have it again within the next few weeks!
Lord, I just want to nibble on those ribs now. In a very ladylike manner of course. Ha!
I am glad so many of you like spareribs as much as I do. And I eat them with my fingers. If you are going to the Veneto, I recommend stopping a day or two in Treviso. It has marvelous food shops. You can even make it a day trip from Venice, if that is where you are staying. Victor used to take the train to Treviso and then a cab to his favorite food shop to buy salumi and cheeses he couldn’t get in Venice.
