Mediterranean Veal Rib Tacos

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 8

   Warm up the tortillas according to package instructions.

9. 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.
