COUNTRY PORK RIBS IN TOMATO GRAVY RECIPE



Country Pork Ribs in Tomato Gravy Recipe image

Perfect cold weather dinner. Braised country ribs in a non-Italian tasting tomato, onion, garlic gravy. Most of the garlic and onion melt into the gravy. Wonderful flavor with few ingredients. No spaghetti sauce taste but the "gravy" would be a great, different not-sweet spaghetti sauce. I suppose you could use Italian herbs, but don't! Try it this way first. Make a big batch because this freezes well and the frozen leftovers were delicious. I believe I found this at about.com.

Time 2h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 -4 lbs country-style pork ribs, cut into 3- to 4-inch lengths
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided use
3 medium sweet onions, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings
1 head about 12 garlic clove, peeled and cut in half
1 (28 ounce) can crushed peeled tomatoes
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups water
1 lb pasta, of choice cooked al dente
chopped parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat a large, heavy Dutch oven over medium high heat. When hot, add teaspoon of olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Sear the pork ribs on both sides until golden brown, turning only once. You may need to do this in batches. Do not crowd the pan. Remove to a platter.
  • Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the Dutch oven, along with the sweet onion rings. Toss to coat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and sweat the onions, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, both cans of tomatoes, and water to the onions. Stir to combine, then return the pork ribs to the pot along with any collected juices.
  • Simmer the pork ribs in the tomato gravy 1-1/2 to 2 hours, until pork is tender. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if warranted.
  • Stir 1 cup of the tomato gravy into the cooked pasta as soon as it is done. Portion the pasta into shallow bowls, top with pork ribs, spoon on some tomato gravy, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Special Equipment

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm tomatoes: This will ensure that your tomatoes have the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: This will add different flavors and textures to your dish.

  • Season the tomatoes well: Use salt, pepper, garlic, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve the tomatoes immediately: This is when they will be at their best.
