Dry Greek Ribs

A few weeks ago, we went out to supper with my mom and her boyfriend to a little pizza and steak house. It actually ended up being more of a Greek experience and menu. Which was just fine because we discovered dry Greek ribs. They were so flavourful! Even though they weren’t covered in any sauce, they were tender, tasty, and downright addicting. So I did a bit of digging and found a recipe that seemed to hit the mark, on epicurious. I did increase the fresh oregano and the garlic, but upon the Hubby’s recommendation, I’ll add even more fresh garlic. The lemon zip also added another level and I could have eaten the whole slab by myself.

I served with a village salad (also known as Greek salad). A simple dish of feta, olives, some veg (tomatoes, celery, shallots, cucumber), drizzled with good oil and lemon juice, and seasoned with good dried oregano and salt and pepper. I liked it almost as much as the ribs. Almost. Because, you know.. ribs.
