Costine Recipe Video

Wegmans Executive Chef Mark Makovec shows you how to create this "typically" Tuscan pork dish with nutmeg, cinnamon, rosemary and sage. Costine is a wonderful way to avoid losing your appetite for the same old spare ribs. This recipe is refreshingly different to the traditional ribs cooked with the usual suspect sauces. An awesome fragrant dish with a combination of fresh herbs and spices. The pork ribs turn out tender enough to be cut with a fork. This dish grows more flavorful as a leftover. This dish always gets rave reviews
