Yesterday I woke up with the lunch menu in mind. And so from early in the morning I started with the preparations for the "rich Sunday soup" that usually; and yesterday would not be the exception, is of ribs. Sunday is so glorious and special that the soup doesn't taste the same if you make it any other day of the week, or maybe it's just my crazy ideas. Well, as I was telling you, I started early in the morning to give shape to this special Sunday from my most frequent place of operations: The kitchen.
Puse en olla de presión las costillas, la idea es que estén súper blandas para la sopa. Pelé y corté las verduras en cubos, usualmente me gusta ponerle yuca, auyama, ñame blanco, maíz tierno en mazorca y plátano verde aunque ésta vez no conseguí, y llevé a fuego para ablandar. Los aliños le dan el toque especial a ésta sopa, yo crecí viendo a mi mamá y a mi abuela en la cocina y ellas siempre, siempre le hacían sofrito a las comidas, así que yo también siempre, siempre lo hago :) usé ají dulce, cebollín, cebolla y ajo, los puse al fuego en poco aceite, condimenté y reservé.
I put the ribs in a pressure cooker, the idea is to make them super soft for the soup. I peeled and diced the vegetables, I usually like to add yucca, auyama, white yam, baby corn on the cob and green plantain although this time I didn't get any, and put them on the heat to soften. The seasonings give the special touch to this soup, I grew up watching my mom and grandmother in the kitchen and they always, always made sofrito to the meals, so I always, always do it too :) I used aji dulce, chives, onion and garlic, I put them on the fire in a little oil, seasoned and set aside.
Cuando estuvieron blandas las costillas las agregué a las verduras que ya comenzaban a ablandarse, dejé cocinar por diez minutos para que se integraran. Pasado éste tiempo agregué los aliños y cociné por diez minutos más. Ya a éste punto los olores inundaban mi hogar, ¡qué olores!! Apagué la cocina y dejé reposar, luego serví cada plato y a comer y degustar éste regalo celestial que son los alimentos...bienvenida a mi mesa "La sopa del domingo", invitada de honor que llegó con sus mejores trajes. Espero disfruten de estás fotografías tanto como en casa disfrutamos de este delicioso y reconfortante plato 🙌
When the ribs were soft, I added them to the vegetables that were beginning to soften, and let them cook for ten minutes so that they would integrate. After this time I added the seasoning and cooked for ten more minutes. At this point the smells flooded my house, what smells! I turned off the stove and let it rest, then I served each dish and let's eat and taste this heavenly gift that is food...welcome to my table "La sopa del domingo", guest of honor who arrived with her best outfits. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we enjoy this delicious and comforting dish at home 🙌.
