Method

  1. 1 Fry the ribs in hot oil for 10 minutes until golden brown, then drain off some of the excess oil.
  2. 2 Boil tomatillo with jalapeño, onion, and garlic for 10 minutes, or until the tomatillo skin changes from green to light yellow.
  3. 3 Blend the mixture with coriander, then fry the sauce in a hot pan for 6 minutes until it thickens and becomes less sour.
  4. 4 Frying the sauce after grinding is a mandatory step; unfried sauce will have a sour and bitter taste and will separate when simmered.
  5. 5 Simmer the ribs in the sauce with 250 ml of water and cumin for 55 minutes over low heat.
  6. 6 Simmer for the last 10 minutes to allow the sauce to coat the ribs, then serve with tortillas.
