Mediterranean Veal Rib Tacos

Ingredients:

• 2.5 to 3 pounds of veal ribs
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup of Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 1 cucumber, seeded and diced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 to 10 small tortillas (corn or flour)
• Optional toppings: crumbled feta cheese, chopped tomatoes, chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

3. Place the veal ribs into the bowl with the marinade. Coat the ribs thoroughly with the marinade, ensuring all sides are well-covered. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for more intense flavor.

4. Heat a large, oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the veal ribs on all sides until they are browned and caramelized. This step will help develop the flavors.

5. Once seared, transfer the skillet or pan into the preheated oven. Allow the veal ribs to cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.

6. While the veal ribs are cooking, prepare the Mediterranean-inspired yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

7. Once the veal ribs are done cooking, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Then, shred the meat off the bones using two forks.

8. Warm up the tortillas according to package instructions.

9. To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the Mediterranean yogurt sauce onto each tortilla. Top it with the shredded veal rib meat. Add any optional toppings like crumbled feta cheese, chopped tomatoes, and fresh parsley.

10. Serve the Mediterranean Veal Rib Tacos while still warm. Enjoy the unique combination of Mediterranean flavors wrapped in a tasty tortilla!
