This easy recipe for braised pork ribs is a dish my mum often cooked for me as a child. I just adore the tender pork ribs and the slightly salty and tangy sauce is extremely appetizing and goes well with white rice.
So simple, that all you have to do is cut your ingredients and throw everything in a pot and leave it to braise.
