Secondly, when buying ribs at the market, you need to immediately decide what you are taking them for.

We suggest you use proven and simple recipes for cooking ribs to get started.

Recipe No. 1: Ribs in sweet and sour sauce

At this time, prepare the sauce. In a ceramic bowl, mix ketchup, honey, lime (or lemon) juice, 1 tsp. salt, vinegar and pepper (you can use white or hotter chili). Stir the mixture until smooth.

Remove the finished ribs from the water and dry with a towel. Then, using a brush, generously coat them with sauce and place them immediately on the grill pan or grill. Cook for about 20 minutes on average, turning occasionally and brushing with remaining sauce. Let the finished grilled ribs rest for 10-15 minutes, and you are ready to serve.

What can you make from smoked pork ribs?

If the option of just eating them is too simple for you, we recommend making soup. Rest assured, everyone will like it. The best addition to this would be legumes (chickpeas, beans, lentils and peas). The soup they make is very satisfying, rich and with an indescribable aroma. And if not everyone likes beans, then peas are an almost ideal option. We offer you the recipe for just such a soup. You will need:

  • smoked pork ribs - 1.5 kg;
  • peas (dry) - 2 cups;
  • medium-sized carrots - 3 pcs.;
  • celery root - 250 g;
  • potatoes - 300 g;
  • onions - 2 pcs.;
  • tomato paste - 2 tbsp. l.;
  • bay leaf (small) - 1 pc.;
  • ground black pepper and peas, salt to taste.

Soup preparation steps

It is recommended to soak the peas overnight, and the next day pour two glasses of boiling water and cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally. Pour 2.5 liters of cold water over the ribs and bring to a boil over high heat, then skim off any foam that has formed.

Peel all vegetables. Bake celery, one carrot and an onion in a dry frying pan (about 6 minutes) and place in the pan with the ribs. Cook for an hour over low heat, and 5-10 minutes before the end, add a bay leaf and black peppercorns.

Then strain the broth into a separate saucepan, add steamed peas and cook for 8-10 minutes, then throw in the remaining vegetables (cut into cubes). Cook the soup for another half hour, and add tomato paste a few minutes (3-5) before the end of cooking. Remove meat from ribs.

Despite the length of the description of the process, you probably noticed that preparing soup from smoked pork ribs is very simple, and the result will exceed all your expectations.

The final stage depends on your preferences. You can leave the soup as is. A very traditional and familiar option. Or you can puree it with a blender and get a puree soup, in this case, after grinding, heat it again on the fire until it boils, and then put the pieces of meat into each portion. Serve it with garlic toast on white bread.

This is just a small part of what to cook from pork ribs. With photos, the recipes seem even more attractive and appetizing, which is true. Try new flavors and unusual combinations, for example, with apple mustard, quince, berries (lingonberries, cranberries) and herbs de Provence.

Cooking pork ribs in the oven is very easy. A simple recipe does not require long preparation and the trick is to marinate the meat in advance. Despite the elementary cooking technology, the dish turns out “for a feast and for the world” and deserves to take a place on any holiday table. And small variations of the main recipe will help housewives experiment and change the dish endlessly.

The first thing that is important for housewives to learn is to choose the right meat ingredients. The best part is the brisket, it is moderately fatty and will always remain juicy. The meat of a young pig is more tender: an adult animal takes longer to cook, and the finished ribs are difficult to chew. It is easy to distinguish such a cut by the yellowish fat. In general, there are no special tricks, and the necessary ingredients are always easy to find in the refrigerator.

You will need:

  • Ribs – 1 kg.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garlic (optional).
  • Sunflower oil.

We wash the ribs with running water, remove excess fat and small parts of the bones. Dry with a paper towel. You can cut it into large pieces, or leave the whole log house. The optimal serving size is 2 pieces of meat on the bone. Squeeze the garlic into sunflower oil, add salt. Rub the mixture over the ribs and leave to soak for 15-20 minutes. Ideally, you should marinate all night or at least 3 hours: it is more difficult for such a dish to dry out and it remains juicy. At this time, preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Place the ribs in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, occasionally basting with the released meat juices. The ribs will smell very appetizing, but they are considered ready only when the meat juice is completely transparent and a golden crust has formed on top. The dish should be served with boiled potatoes (you can cook pork ribs in the oven immediately with potatoes), and an even better combination is a complex side dish - potatoes and stewed cabbage. But ribs are also suitable as an independent hot appetizer, for example, as an addition to foamy drinks. Baked ribs also go perfectly with sauces: from classic tomato sauce to satsebeli sauce made from natural yogurt, mint, garlic and fresh cucumber.

Cunning! Is it possible to take a frozen product? Ideal product chilled. But in emergency cases, it is realistic to use meat from the freezer just to let it thaw naturally, without resorting to the microwave. Then the ribs will be juicy, especially if they are pre-marinated.

How to cook baked in foil in the oven

Cooking in foil is a real pleasure for many housewives. It’s very simple, and what’s more, it’s very convenient because you don’t have to wash the baking dish of grease after the meal. Pork ribs in the oven in foil are an elementary dish even for those who have little knowledge of cooking. In addition, you can serve the ribs without removing them from the foil - this serving is spectacular and suitable for festive feasts.

The cooking instructions generally do not differ from the basic recipe: the pieces of meat are washed in the same way, lubricated with spices, and then each is “wrapped” in a layer of foil. Meat pieces are baked for 50 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees and served with a side dish or sauce.

Secret! To form a beautiful crust, you can remove the top layer of foil 10 minutes before it’s ready and let the ribs fry. The “grill” function, which almost all ovens have today, is even better suited for these purposes.

Pork ribs in honey mustard sauce

Honey and mustard is a classic and perhaps the most flavorful sauce for roasting ribs. The national cuisines of the Czech Republic and certain regions of Germany are simply unthinkable without this meat marinade: chicken wings, shanks, and ribs are baked in it.

You will need:

  • 1 kg. pork ribs
  • 2 tbsp. spoons of mustard.
  • 3 tbsp. spoons of honey.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

Lightly melt the honey in a water bath and mix with mustard. Rub the sauce over the meat pieces and let the marinade soak the meat well. The best time for marinating is several hours, so the sauce completely saturates the meat fibers, making the meat more tender and much softer. Next, we do everything the same as in the main recipe - put the ribs in a mold and fry for 40 minutes.

Important nuance! Just a small game in proportions, increasing the share of honey or mustard, significantly changes the taste of baked ribs. Want more sweetness? Take more honey. Would you like some spice? Don't skimp on the mustard. And one more secret: all over the world Dijon mustard is used for marinade: the Russian national product is vigorous, while Dijon is soft and aromatic.

With soy sauce in the oven

Today, Pan-Asian cuisine is in great fashion, and soy sauce is the very ingredient that gives the dish authenticity and is so reminiscent of the cuisine of China and Japan. Soy sauce complements pork perfectly, so feel free to try the recipe even if you're not a fan of Asia.

Ribs baked with sauce are easy and simple to prepare: the main thing here is to marinate the meat longer and then it will literally slide off the bones after baking. This dish would be properly served with boiled fluffy rice, and several types of sauce would be offered separately.

How else to diversify the marinade:

  • Garlic.
  • Grated ginger.
  • Lemon juice.
  • Honey.

There are many variations of cooking pork with soy sauce, and each component adds its own flavor, changing the taste of the finished dish.

Pork ribs - BBQ in the oven

Barbecue is usually done outdoors. But what to do on winter evenings when it is not possible to fry over an open fire? You can bake barbecue ribs directly in the oven and few guests will distinguish them from the original from the fire. The basic recipe remains the same, but you can experiment to your heart’s content with marinades.

What marinades will help add that BBQ flavor?

  • Ready-made marinade with prunes - it will highlight the ribs and fill them with a light smoked aroma.
  • Vinegar.
  • "Liquid Smoke"

Here it is important to achieve a crust by frying pieces of meat on the grill mode. The ribs are served with boiled potatoes or French fries.

Cooking method in the sleeve

A baking sleeve, like foil, greatly saves housewives time for cleaning up after cooking. The meat in the sleeve is cooked in its own juices, which makes it tender, juicy, and the fibers literally slide off the bones.

How to cook these ribs? We marinate the pieces of meat, dry them, coat them with any marinade and spices, and place them in a baking bag or sleeve. Place the ribs in a preheated oven and simmer for 40-50 minutes at 180 degrees. Some housewives complain that the meat turns out to be boiled.

Experienced chefs know how to cook pork ribs in a frying pan so that even the most picky gourmet will enjoy them. Knowing some secrets will allow even a novice housewife to cope with this task.

  • The main thing is to choose a quality product. Choose brisket with a significant amount of meat. Make sure that the meat belonged to a young pig: it should be light in color, have white fat, without a hint of yellowness.
  • Try to use the ribs right away so you don't have to defrost them, as defrosting will make the meat less juicy. However, this trouble can be avoided by allowing the ribs to thaw in the refrigerator and not trying to speed up the process with a microwave or water.
  • The ribs will be much more flavorful and tender if you marinate them before cooking. Mayonnaise, sour cream, kefir, beer, and mineral water are best suited for marinade. You can use the same marinade that you usually make for barbecue.
  • You need to place the ribs on a hot frying pan and fry over medium or even high heat without covering with a lid. When they are covered with a crust, which gives them an appetizing appearance and prevents the meat from losing juice, you can add water, vegetables, sauce and simmer over low heat under the lid until cooked. If you do everything in the reverse order, the meat will turn out soft, but not too juicy, and it will look less appetizing.
  • A cast iron skillet is best for frying pork ribs. If you don’t have one on your household, you can use a regular one with a non-stick coating. It is better, of course, that its bottom and walls are thick.

Knowing the basic principles of cooking pork ribs in a frying pan, you can make different dishes according to any recipes you like.
