Prepare a half-cooked rice filling with rice, almonds, onion, and spices.
Loosely fill the rib cavity with rice and close it with kitchen twine.
Sear the ribs in a wide pot until all sides are browned.
Add enough hot water to come just below the top.
Cook over low heat for 2.5-3 hours until the meat is tender.
💡 Tip: Filling the rib cavity loosely leaves room for the rice to swell while cooking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Bring it to the table with pomegranate molasses salad and ayran.
