Don Corleones Rib Supper
From danadooley 16 years ago
- 60 minutes to make
- Serves 6
Th first time I cooked this, my mum sauntered in the kitchen and blurted out "My God! Smells like Sicily in here! Who the hell's coming to dinner? Vito Corleone? " Can you hear the mandolins playing? LMAO
Ingredients
- 1 kg pork spare rib cuts (normal spare ribs cut across into 2) shopping list
- 250 gm spicy Italian pork sausage - cut into inch long chunks shopping list
- 8 tbs plain canned tomato sauce OR 2 tbs canned tomato paste shopping list
- 4 tbs chopped garlic shopping list
- 1 wine glass dry white vermouth shopping list
- 2 tsp hot chili flakes OR red pepper flakes (or to taste) shopping list
- 4 anchovy fillets - drained shopping list
- 1/2 of a cup pitted green olives - bashed with the flat side of a cleaver shopping list
- 1 tbs capers- rinsed and drained shopping list
- 4 cups water OR light unsalted chicken stock shopping list
- 1/2 level tsp sugar or to taste shopping list
- 4 tbs olive oil shopping list
How to make it
- Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet or deep pan and brown sausage chunks. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Gently brown garlic and add in anchovy fillets, crushing them with back of spoon. Add in chili flakes and stir well.
- Put in ribs in a single layer and brown. Flip over ribs and brown other side.
- Pour in vermouth , swirl around and heat till almost evaporated. Add in tomato sauce, olives and capers and stir till sauce thickens.
- Pour in 4 cups water and bring to the boil. Add sausage chunks. Lower heat to minimum, put lid on and simmer till sauce thickens and ribs are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and scorching.
- Serve with pasta aglio olio or crusty Italian bread.
- I've cooked this twice so far and both times I found salt unnecessary but season to taste, if you wish.
