SPARERIBS AND SAUERKRAUT



Spareribs and Sauerkraut image

You just cannot do this one wrong. You don't have to drain the sauerkraut. You don't even brown the ribs; they brown without your help. The recipe was handed down to Camille MacKusick by her father-in-law, from the family archives. All sorts of magical juices ooze out of everything. When the last finger is licked and the last lip smacked, everyone will weep.

Provided by Karyl Bannister

Categories     Beef     Bake     Beef Rib     Spring

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 country-style spareribs
1 1-pound can sauerkraut, drained
About one-half 18-ounce bottle barbecue sauce
No salt, no freshly ground black pepper!

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. Choose a baking pan that will accommmodate the ribs in pieces or all hitched together, with the kraut in the space left over. Eight country-style ribs cut into a 6-rib and a 2-rib hunk, plus the can of kraut, fit perfectly in a 9-by-13-inch pan. For more ribs, get a bigger pan and more kraut.
  • Place the ribs in the pan and the sauerkraut in a mound beside them. Cover the ribs - not the kraut - with the barbecue sauce. Use as much as you like, maybe more than half the bottle, maybe less. Cover the pan tightly withaluminum foil and bake for 3 hours. Lift a corner of the foil near the end of the time to sneak a look. The ribs should be nicely browned and glazed and your mouth should water. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose country-style pork ribs for a more flavorful and tender dish.
  • Soak the sauerkraut in water for 30 minutes to remove any excess saltiness.
  • Use a variety of spices, such as caraway seeds, juniper berries, and bay leaves, to enhance the flavor of the sauerkraut.
  • Sear the pork ribs in a pan before braising them to create a delicious caramelized crust.
  • Cook the pork ribs and sauerkraut together for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve the sauerkraut and pork ribs with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.

Conclusion:

Spare ribs and sauerkraut is a classic German dish that is both hearty and flavorful. With its tender pork ribs, tangy sauerkraut, and aromatic spices, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make meal, give this recipe a try!
