Braised Pork Ribs

These are fall off the bone tender and truly almost taste the same as beef ribs covered in the hearty sauce. We thought either pork or beef ribs would work beautifully.

The sauce went well with Elsie’s Potatoes and if you are up to it Polenta or pasta would complement this entrée.
