To prepare the grilled ribs, start by preparing the marinade, which will serve to flavor the meat and make it more tender and tasty. In a low and wide bowl of sufficient capacity pour the wine, and then add the cleaned and coarsely chopped shallot and the whole rosemary sprigs.

Meanwhile, prepare the accompanying sauce. In the mixer chop the onion. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a non-stick bottomed saucepan, and add the peeled, coarsely chopped garlic.
Fry the garlic for a few minutes, so that the oil is well seasoned. When it is browned, remove it and add the chopped onion.

Storage
Freshly cooked ribs should preferably be consumed. You can keep the raw meat immersed in its marinade until ready to cook, covered with plastic wrap. The accompanying sauce can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container or covered with the transparent film. Freezing is not recommended.
If you prefer, instead of ribs you can use pork chops! In this case, the marinating time will be about one hour at room temperature. If you prefer to use fillet, roast or other large cuts, it will be enough to increase the marinating time up to one or two days: so the flavors will have plenty of time to penetrate the meat and make it tender and tasty!
