Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, diced
1 head green cabbage, diced
Kosher salt
1 quart apple cider
1 12-ounce can or bottle IPA
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 cup sauerkraut, pureed
1 ham hock
1/2 rack bone-in smoked pork loin (about 3 1/2 pounds)
2 pounds garlic sausage or kielbasa
1 bunch parsley leaves, roughly chopped or torn
1/4 cup hot mustard
Freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cabbage, season with a large pinch of salt and cook until the vegetables begin to melt and break down, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the cider, beer, red pepper flakes, coriander, pureed sauerkraut and ham hock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  • Nestle the pork and sausage in the Dutch oven and continue to simmer for 45 minutes, until all of the meat is cooked through and tender. After 45 minutes, remove the ham hock, pork and sausage to a cutting board. Slice all of the meat and add it back into the pot. Mix in the parsley and mustard and additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons oil
2 pounds pork (I'm using spare ribs)
1 small carrot, sliced
1 celery stalk, sliced
1 onion, sliced (I'm using red)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 head cabbage, sliced, optional (I just need to use it up)
1 pound dried split peas
1 pound potatoes, cut into chunks if large and left whole if small
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 piece smoked meat, such as a ham hock or kielbasa link
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 ounces bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the ribs and cook until brown on both sides, 3 to 6 minutes. Remove the ribs to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the carrot, celery, onion, 1 tablespoon salt and cabbage if using and sweat the vegetables for about 3 minutes. Add the split peas, potatoes, garlic, bay leaf, smoked meat, cayenne pepper, ribs, 2 1/2 quarts water and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a simmer, skimming the foam that will rise to the surface as the water comes up to heat. When the liquid is at a simmer, lay the bacon slices on top of the stew, transfer to the oven and cook until the peas and ribs are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Discard the bay leaf. Remove the smoked meat from the soup. If using a ham hock, when it's cool enough to handle, pick off the meat and add it back to the soup (discard the bone). If using kielbasa, cut into slices and add it back to the soup. Chop up the bacon and add it to the soup.
  • To serve, divide the ribs among bowls and ladle the soup over them.

POLISH PAPA'S PORK CHOPS



Polish Papa's Pork Chops image

This is one of the many favorite recipes that I got from my father (the Polish Papa!). It's incredibly easy and very, very good. The apples, applesauce, and onion mixture cuts some of the sharpness of the sauerkraut. As a result, even people who claim to hate sauerkraut love this dish. If you REALLY love sauerkraut, use two cans with both the applesauce and apples. I usually do this, as the sauerkraut is a wonderful leftover.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are thin or have a lot of bone.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat. Cut the ribs into individual pieces, if desired.
  • Use a good rub: A rub is a mixture of spices and herbs that helps to flavor the ribs. There are many different rub recipes available, so experiment until you find one that you like.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: The best way to cook ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will allow the meat to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with a mixture of liquid and spices will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Pork ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you prefer them grilled, smoked, or braised, there is a recipe out there that will suit your taste. With a little planning and preparation, you can make fall-off-the-bone ribs that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
