Pork ribs stewed with vegetables
Description
This recipe won't take much time. For this simple dish of pork ribs stewed with vegetables, we don't need many ingredients—we just take the ribs and whatever vegetables we have on hand, either from the garden or the fridge. Personally, I had a cabbage harvest this year, so I've been lucky enough to discover many delicious cabbage-based recipes, including this excellent one. However, the ingredient list I've provided here is in no way strict—you can freely add your own ingredients to this pork rib and vegetable stew. For example, I've since prepared this dish several times with the addition of tomatoes and bell peppers, which makes it even more delicious and aromatic. So don't be afraid to experiment—everything is in your hands. Serve hot.
