Baked Cajun Pork Ribs with Potatoes & Garlic Sauce
Description
The recipe begins by removing the silver skin from pork ribs, seasoning them simply with salt and pepper, then wrapping them tightly before baking at 180°C for two hours, allowing the meat to become tender. Potatoes are cut into wedges, seasoned with rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper, then roasted alongside. Whole garlic bulbs roast separately until soft, then their pulp is blended with mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to create a creamy and mildly tangy garlic sauce. A spice blend combining sweet paprika, black pepper, dried herbs like oregano and thyme, cumin, allspice, sugar, garlic powder, ginger, and lemon zest is prepared and applied to the ribs just before finishing them in the oven, creating a flavorful crust.
This dish works well as a hearty main course, balancing the soft, juicy pork with crisp-roasted potatoes and rich sauce. The spiced crust adds depth while the garlic sauce provides moisture and brightness. It is suitable for dinner or gatherings where savory, intensely flavored meat dishes are appreciated.
