Ribs with potatoes in a saucepan - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use boneless ribs for this recipe?

Yes, boneless ribs or even pork shoulder cut into chunks work well. Adjust cooking time slightly as boneless meat may cook faster.

What can I substitute for tomato paste if I don't have any?

Use 2 tbsp ketchup or ½ cup crushed tomatoes. For deeper flavor, add a dash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce.

How can I make this dish vegetarian?

Replace ribs with meaty mushrooms (portobello or oyster) or eggplant. Use vegetable broth instead of water and add 1 tsp smoked paprika for a 'meaty' flavor.

Can I prepare this dish ahead and reheat it later?

Yes! Store cooled portions airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to prevent drying.

What's the best way to freeze leftovers?

Portion into airtight containers once cooled, leaving 1-inch headspace. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in fridge before reheating.

How can I make this recipe spicier?

Add ½ tsp chili flakes with the paprika, or stir in 1 diced chili pepper with the onions. Serve with hot sauce on the side.

What sides pair well with this dish?

Try a crisp green salad, pickled vegetables, or crusty bread to soak up the juices. Coleslaw also balances the richness nicely.

My potatoes are still firm after simmering—what should I do?

Add ¼ cup more water, cover tightly, and simmer 5 more minutes. Ensure potatoes are cut evenly (1-inch pieces) for consistent cooking.
