gourmet fridays: red ribs

Now I haven’t actually tried this yet, but these Asian-inspired ribs sound really good. I’ve never made ribs before, but my MIL bought me some at Sam’s because they were super cheap. Let’s see how it goes!

Red Ribs
serves 2 (so I’m doubling this)

2 pounds pork lion ribs or country-style pork spareribs, cut into 3-4 rib pieces
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger

Arrange pork ribs in the slow cooker. Combine the ketchup, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, brown sugar, garlic and ginger in a small bowl and mix until smooth; spoon over the ribs. If you have a round cooker, stack the ribs with the sauce in between.  Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 9 hours, until the meat is tender and starts to separate from the bone. Serve immediately.
