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.

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.

Make and share this Baked Spareribs With Sauerkraut and Apples recipe from Food.com.

Provided by MizzNezz

Categories     Pork

Time 2h8m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs spareribs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (32 ounce) jar sauerkraut (undrained)
2 teaspoons firmly packed brown sugar
2 tart apples, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450°F degrees.
  • Cut ribs into serving pieces.
  • Place in 13x9-inch pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
  • Reduce oven to 350°F degrees.
  • Remove ribs; drain fat from pan.
  • In same pan, combine sauerkraut, sugar, apples, onion, and water.
  • Spread it all out evenly.
  • Put ribs on top; bake uncovered for 1 1/2 hrs, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork ribs. Look for ribs that are meaty and well-marbled, with a good layer of fat. Avoid ribs that are thin or bony.
  • Trim the ribs of excess fat and silver skin. This will help the ribs to cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Season the ribs liberally with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Rub the seasonings into the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly.
  • Braising is a great way to cook spare ribs because it helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can braise the ribs in a variety of liquids, such as beer, wine, or broth.
  • Cook the ribs until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. This will usually take at least 2 hours, but it may take longer depending on the thickness of the ribs.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, or green beans.
  • If you are using a slow cooker, add the ribs and sauerkraut to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
  • If you are using the oven, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the ribs for 2-3 hours, or until they are tender.
  • Garnish the ribs with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.

Conclusion:

Spare ribs and sauerkraut is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The ribs are braised in a flavorful sauce until they are fall-off-the-bone tender, and the sauerkraut adds a tangy and sour flavor to the dish. Whether you are making it for a special occasion or just a weeknight dinner, spare ribs and sauerkraut is sure to be a hit.
