These Costillitas de Puerco en Salsa Roja are way up on my list of favorites, it's a very easy dish to prepare. I like using St Louis pork ribs because i think they are meatier than baby back ribs, but Baby back ribs and Pork Shoulder are great too. I think that fresh ground spices especially All Spice, Whole Cloves, Cumin and Oregano are a must in this dish and that is what makes it unique. I hope you give it a try.
