Smoked Pork Ribs with Green Bean Stew
Smoked pork ribs with green bean stew is a classic Hungarian dish often prepared for comforting family meals. The rich flavor of the smoked meat and the slightly tangy taste of the creamy green bean stew perfectly complement each other. As the ribs simmer, the intense aroma of smoked meat fills the kitchen, while the creamy texture and slightly sour taste of the green bean stew add freshness to the dish. The secret to perfect smoked ribs is slow cooking, which ensures the meat is tender, while the silky texture of the stew is achieved by adding a sour cream mixture. This dish is an ideal choice for hearty lunches or traditional Hungarian dinners.

Preparation Steps
1
Cut the smoked pork ribs into pieces and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and cook over medium heat for 1.5 hours, or until the meat is tender.
2
Meanwhile, prepare the green bean stew: trim and cut the green beans into smaller pieces. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
3
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Add the green beans and bay leaves, then cover with just enough water to cover the beans. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the green beans are tender.
4
In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream with the flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in a ladleful of the hot cooking liquid to temper the mixture. Then, pour the sour cream mixture back into the green bean stew and cook for another 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
5
Season the green bean stew with vinegar and sugar to taste, aiming for a slightly tangy and creamy flavor.
6
To serve, place the tender smoked pork ribs on top of the green bean stew and garnish with fresh parsley.
