Servings: persons

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 pounds pork spareribs, separated into individual ribs, excess fat trimmed
1 large onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 garlic cloves, chopped
pinch of ground cinnamon
scant pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup red wine
two 16-ounce cans whole tomatoes in their juice, crushed by hand
fine sea salt

1
Pour the olive oil into a saute pan wide and deep enough to hold all the ribs. Place over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the ribs in a single layer and brown them slowly, turning until all sides are browned.
2
Transfer the ribs to a plate and set aside.
3
To the same pan, add the onion and parsley and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes, then add the garlic, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper. Return the ribs to the pan and move them around with tongs to let them absorb the flavor and the heat.
4
Pour the wine into the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any flavorful bits. Cook until the wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes and their liquid. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 11/2 hours, until the meat is tender and the sauce is reduced to a creamy consistency. Season with salt and serve from a platter or on individual plates.
