José Pizarro's arroz al horno with pork ribs recipe
'Ribs have a special place in my heart – they're just irresistible, no matter how they're cooked!' says José Pizarro. 'In this recipe, while rice serves as the foundational ingredient, the ribs are the star of the show. Marinated to perfection, the ribs release their rich, savoury juices into the rice as they cook, infusing every grain with a depth of flavour that is mouth-watering and satisfying. 'The marinade is a bold mix of aromatics and spices, including the zest of lemon and sprigs of fresh oregano, enhanced by a good pinch of pimentón. Marinating not only tenderises the ribs but deepens the flavours. As the ribs slow-cook to tender perfection, their flavours combine with the lemon's acidity, cutting through the richness and balancing the fatty succulence of the pork. Advertisement This harmonious blend of tender meat, aromatic seasoning and refreshing citrus results in a dish in which the flavours dance together in unison. Paired with the soft, flavourful rice that captures all the essences of the marinade, this dish is both hearty and refined.' Arroz al horno with pork ribs Ingredients: (Serves 6, takes 3 hours plus marinating) 6 chunky pork belly ribs 200ml white wine Pared zest of 1 lemon 4 sprigs of oregano Good pinch of pimentón 75ml olive oil 1 large onion, finely sliced 2 red peppers, deseeded and sliced 3 large tomatoes, chopped 3 garlic cloves, crushed 300g bomba or other medium-grain paella rice 700ml fresh chicken stock Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Arroz al horno with pork ribs (Emma Lee/PA) Method: 1.
