Pork Ribs

Pork ribs are a popular cut of pork taken from the chest area of the pig. Rich in fat and connective tissue, they become juicy and tender when slow-cooked. Suitable for grilling, oven roasting or slow cooking, they are most often marinated in sweet-and-sour, honey-based or barbecue sauces that enhance their natural meaty flavour. A favourite treat especially at outdoor barbecues and cookouts, the meat falls cleanly off the bone when prepared correctly. Beyond classic grilling, they are also excellent braised with sauerkraut or as the base of a hearty stock.
