Today I'm making pork ribs with potatoes and rice, the kind of comforting dish that's meant to be shared around the table and savored without rushing. The deep flavor starts by getting a nice golden sear on the ribs, then comes together with a good homemade vegetable broth, smoked paprika, and fresh rosemary. Everyday ingredients, but together they make an incredibly flavorful meal.
If you love a hearty rice with pork ribs and veggies, here I also add carrots, green beans, and a handful of sweet peas alongside the potatoes. I use round short-grain rice, which soaks up all that rich broth beautifully. These amounts make four generous servings—perfect for a weekend family meal when I have just over an hour to cook.
