1
Wash and clean the ribs thoroughly with lemon juice, vinegar, and cold water.
2
Season the ribs by rubbing with oil, then add salt, mixed herbs, all-purpose seasoning, paprika, and homemade green seasoning. Mix thoroughly with your hands to coat evenly.
3
Prepare the baking dish by adding a little oil to the bottom. Place the seasoned ribs in the dish and add chopped bell pepper and onion around them.
4
Let the ribs marinate for about 30 minutes (or overnight for best results). Add half a cup of water to the dish to help incorporate all the seasonings.
5
Bake the ribs covered with foil at 180°C for 1 hour without opening or disturbing the dish.
6
Prepare the potatoes by peeling, washing, and cutting into uniform pieces. Set aside and wait to cook until the final 20 minutes.
7
Prepare the carrots by peeling, washing, and chopping as desired. Set aside until ready to cook.
8
Prepare the okra by trimming the ends and cutting each piece in half lengthwise. Check the insides carefully, then wash thoroughly.
9
Season the prepared okra with mixed herbs and all-purpose seasoning. Add a little butter and cover.
10
Season the carrots with mixed herbs, all-purpose seasoning, curry powder, brown sugar, and butter.
11
After 1 hour, check the ribs and baste them with the pan juices to keep them moist.
12
Remove the foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes to 1 hour until the ribs are very tender.
13
Once the ribs return to the oven for the final baking, start cooking the potatoes (about 20 minutes) and steaming the okra and carrots so everything finishes at the same time and stays hot.
14
Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them with butter and heavy cream until smooth and creamy to your desired consistency.
15
Cook the seasoned carrots over low heat for 5–8 minutes, allowing them to steam in the butter. Stir well to coat with all seasonings.
16
Once the mashed potatoes, carrots, and okra are ready, check the ribs one final time to ensure they are fully cooked and tender. Plate and serve.
