Ribs
Creole Sauce
Method
Preparing the Ribs
- 1
Season the Ribs
In a large bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture all over the pork ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- 2
Sear the Ribs
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned ribs and sear them on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once seared, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Making the Creole Sauce
- 3
Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet used for the ribs, add more olive oil if necessary. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- 4
Add Garlic and Tomatoes
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet along with the chopped tomatoes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes begin to break down.
- 5
Season and Simmer
Stir in the paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Then add the water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Combining and Cooking
- 6
Combine Ribs and Sauce
Add the seared ribs back into the skillet with the creole sauce. Ensure the ribs are well-coated with the sauce.
- 7
Cook Until Tender
Cover the skillet and let the ribs simmer in the sauce on low heat for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
