Homonym: ribbe (Rib)
Ribbe is a traditional Norwegian dish made from pork ribs, typically prepared for festive occasions like Christmas. The dish features a layer of meat and a thick layer of fat, which, when cooked, becomes crispy and flavorful. Ribbe is often served with side dishes such as potatoes, sauerkraut, and gravy.
The preparation of ribbe involves slow-roasting the ribs in the oven, allowing the fat to render and the meat to become tender. This cooking method enhances the rich flavors of the pork. Ribbe is a beloved part of Norwegian culinary heritage and is enjoyed by many families during holiday celebrations.
