About Costillitas
Costillitas, often referred to as "little ribs," are a popular dish originating from Latin American and Spanish cuisines. Made primarily with pork or beef ribs, their preparation typically involves marinating the meat in a blend of spices, citrus juices, and herbs before grilling, baking, or slow-cooking for tender, flavorful results. Common marinades include garlic, paprika, oregano, and vinegar, creating a savory and aromatic profile. While rich in protein and iron, costillitas can be high in saturated fats depending on the cut of meat used. The dish may also pack extra calories when paired with sugary glazes or served with starchy sides. Nutritional benefits can be enhanced by incorporating leaner meat options and serving with nutrient-dense sides like grilled vegetables or fresh salads. Renowned for its hearty taste and cultural significance, costillitas offer a satisfying indulgence when enjoyed in moderation.
