How to prepare potato stew with smoked ribs
- Cut the ribs into individual pieces (between the bones). Fry them in hot oil until lightly browned on all sides and they release some of their fat. Remove to a plate.
- In the remaining fat, add the finely chopped onion and pepper. Sauté over low heat for 10 minutes, until very soft.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add the bay leaves, paprika and black pepper. Mix well.
- Put the ribs back in the pot, add salt to taste and cover with 1.5 l of water. Bring to a boil. Simmer covered for 1 hour (or until you test a rib with a fork and the meat falls off the bone easily).
- Add the peeled and cubed potatoes. There should be enough water in the pot to cover the potatoes. If there isn't enough, add a little hot water to cover them.
- Bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes (until the potatoes are done).
- Add the finely chopped parsley. Let it rest for a few hours and the sauce will thicken. It's even better after a few hours or reheated.
