El Salvador

El Salvador (#38) White Beans and Pork Rib Soup

I found this recipe on-line at https://deliciouselsalvador.com/.  This is the first time I have used baby back pork ribs in a soup, and it was so much better than using a ham-hock.  The ribs fell off the bone and were a perfect addition to the bean soup.  This was also the first time I have used annatto spice.  It comes from the seeds of the achiote tree and is used in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine as a flavoring and coloring agent.  It’s also used to color cheeses such as Cheddar, and cheese products such as Velveeta.  This dish took about 10 minutes to put together, then you simmer it for 2-3 hours and dinner is on the table.
