Smoked Ribs

Smoked ribs are a popular meat product made from pork side ribs that undergo curing and smoking. The result is juicy, flavorful meat with a distinctive smoky taste that easily falls off the bone. In Central European cuisine, they are widely used in hearty soups and broths, but also served as a main course alongside sauerkraut, potato dumplings, or bread. They are a good source of protein, and the fat in the ribs contributes to their rich, satisfying flavor. Smoking extends their shelf life and gives them an unmistakable aroma characteristic of traditional Czech and Slovak cooking.
