Country Ribs

I bought these beautiful pork ribs at a meat market in a nearby town. There are a lot of ways they could be cooked but I'm opting for slow and steamy today. This will ensure tender, fall-of-the-bone meat and boil out the fat which is a good thing. If you're having a busy day, these can be cooked in the crockpot on high to boil, then low for 6-8 hours.

Pepper the ribs in a large pan. Add water up to the top surface of the ribs. Heat to boiling then reduce to a simmer. Cover and check every half hour or so, turning and adding more water if needed. Cook 90 minutes this way, then add big chunks of vegetables on top of or around the meat. Continue to simmer another 20-30 minutes or until the vegetables are done as you like them. Serve with A-1 or barbecue sauce. . .Lin
