Pork ribs with chickpeas
Description
Pork ribs with chickpeas are easy to prepare. But you'll need to be patient, as it will take at least 3 to 3.5 hours before you can serve the dish. I assure you, your patience will be rewarded. The tender, soft, and aromatic meat with chickpeas will surely delight all lovers of legumes. If your ribs are very fatty, you won't need any sunflower oil for frying. However, I prefer lean pork. Good luck!
