Pork Ribs with Chicken, Porcini Mushrooms, and Baked Potatoes

Pork Ribs with Chicken, Porcini Mushrooms and Baked Potatoes is a very practical and at the same time delicious way to prepare this main course that usually pleases everyone and makes a good impression.

In addition to this combination you can add sausage as I did in this recipe.

To let the meat and potatoes take on flavor I let them steep for 30 minutes in extra virgin olive oil, all the herbs, salt, garlic, grated lemon zest and beer.

Servings: 4 people


 Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken drumsticks
  • 6 pork ribs
  • 250 g (9 oz) sausage
  • 2 large potatoes
  • 1/2 lemon (grated zest)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 7 g (1 tbsp) fresh rosemary
  • 6 g (1 tbsp) fresh sage
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 g (1/2 tsp) fine salt
  • 150 ml (2/3 cup) pale ale
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 30 g (1 oz) dried porcini mushrooms
  • Hot water (to soak porcini)

👩‍🍳 Method:

  1. Soak the porcini mushrooms:
    Place the dried porcini mushrooms in a bowl of hot water for 20 minutes. Once softened, drain (reserve the soaking liquid for another recipe if desired) and roughly chop them.

  2. Prepare the herb blend:
    In a blender, combine rosemary needles, sage leaves, bay leaves, and garlic cloves. Blend until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and add the salt.

  3. Prep the meat and potatoes:
    Wash the chicken drumsticks, removing any feathers over a flame if needed. Cut pork ribs in half if too large. Chop the sausage into chunks. Peel the potatoes (or scrub them well if leaving the skin on) and cut into large pieces.

  4. Combine everything:
    In a large baking dish or roasting pan, arrange the chicken, pork ribs, sausage, potatoes, and chopped porcini mushrooms.
    Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over the herb mixture. Mix thoroughly with your hands to coat all ingredients well.
    Add grated lemon zest, pour the beer over the top, cover, and let marinate for 30 minutes.

  5. Bake:
    Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) in static mode.
    Once preheated, bake the dish in the middle-upper rack for 50 minutes, stirring the potatoes and turning the meat halfway through for even browning.

  6. Serve hot and enjoy the beautiful combination of juicy meats, golden potatoes, and savory porcini mushrooms!
