How to Make Pork Ribs with Okra, a Delicious Traditional Recipe from Brazil

The "Costeinha Mineira with Okra" is a typical and delicious dish from Minas Gerais, Brazil's culinary tradition. With dried meat, Calabresa sausage, and okra, the Costeinha Mineira is a dish that requires patience and technique, but rewards with an unparalleled flavor. The dried meat is cooked for hours until it becomes tender and tasty, while the sausage is fried until it becomes golden and crispy. The okra, which is a controversial ingredient, is sautéed with care to become well seasoned and without a slimy texture. The history of Costeinha Mineira goes back to the times when the region was dominated by gold exploration. The bandeirantes, who were the gold explorers, needed a food that was easy to transport, tasty, and that provided energy to face the long days of work. Thus, the Costeinha Mineira was born, which quickly became a popular dish among the miners. An interesting fact about okra is that, besides being a controversial ingredient, it has several medicinal properties. Okra is rich in fibers, vitamins, and minerals, and can help control cholesterol and blood pressure. Moreover, it is an excellent ingredient for those who are on a diet because it is low in calories and helps control hunger. The Costeinha Mineira can be accompanied by various traditional dishes from Minas Gerais cuisine, such as white rice, "feijão tropeiro," and sautéed collard greens. For pepper lovers, a good suggestion is to add some "pimenta dedo-de-moça" to the dish, which gives it a special touch of spiciness. Preparing the Costeinha Mineira requires patience and carefulness, as the dried meat needs to be cooked for hours to become tender and tasty, and the okra needs to be sautéed with attention to avoid a slimy texture. But in the end, the result is an explosion of flavors and textures that are worth all the effort. If you want to taste one of the delights of Minas Gerais cuisine, Costeinha Mineira with okra is an excellent option.
