| The beans should be soaked in water for 24
hours. Wash and drain the sauerkraut. Wash the spare ribs. Prepare pest: finely chop the bacon (known locally as panceta), garlic and parsley to a paste-like consistency. Peel and slice (or dice) the potatoes. Boil the sauerkraut and spare ribs together and the beans separately. When half cooked, combine the beans, sauerkraut and spare ribs and continue cooking. Add bay leaves, pepper corns and pest. Just before cooking is completed add the potatoes and cook until they soften. Remove the spare ribs and serve separately from the yota. |
