Hi all---I'm looking for a recipe for...

I do my ribs in a crockpot but I'm sure doing them in a Dutch oven would produce the same results.

I do them alot of ways... with kraut, sweet and sour and a bbq style sauce. I have a honey garlic recipe but it's not TNT (tried 'n' true) but if you want it let me know and I'll post it as well. It's on the "to make" list for this month (I plan my meals at home monthly.. and well it's a guideline but it does help with planning the grocery list) and my son loves ribs so I'm sure it'll get tried.

Anyway.. the recipes




Kenny D's Kraut Ribs

3-5 lbs baby back ribs
1 (500mL) jar sauerkraut
caraway seeds
1 bottle beer

Place ribs in crockpot. Cover with caraway seeds. Top with sauerkraut and pour the beer over all. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Barbecue Ribs
Lazy one here.. put the ribs in the crockpot and cover with your favourite bbq sauce.. bottled or homemade.. let it go for 8-10 hours

Sweet and Sour

This is my mother in law's recipe and it's really good on meatballs and chicken as well.

Ribs.. use any kind of pork ribs, back or side that you can find

* 2 tablespoons cornstarch
* 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
* 1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks - drained, with juice reserved
* 1/3 cup white vinegar
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* 1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper

Combine all of the ingredients and pour them over ribs. Cover and bake at 300F for two hours until meat is tender. (I put it all in my crockpot and let it go for 8h) Serve over rice

There are several wonderful cookbooks devoted solely to dutch oven cooking. I would suggest perhaps getting one like The Dutch Oven Cookbook by Sharon Kramis and Julie Kramis Hearne. Amazon has it for about $13.50 new or used for about $5 (there is a convient link from the top of the forum page to get there ) and be sure to check out the review of this book in the cookbook section of Cheftalk.com too.

:)

Oh and while your on Cheftalk.com be sure to search Dutch Oven and you will get several recipes there that are wonderful too!

*gasp* cook ribs anywhere but the BBQ pit? :lol: Season as you like, put in dutch oven with just a bit of liquid of choice(beer, bbq sauce, stock, etc.) and slow cook until done to your liking. I would keep the temps down around 275 or so if possible and timing will depend on how thick/big the ribs are. As an option when almost done remove from the dutch oven and put on a rack over a sheet pan and apply sauce and put it back into a 450 degree oven to set and carmelize the sauce or do this on the grill or under the broiler.

There is a local restauraunt who's claim to fame is boiled baby back ribs that are then placed on the grill and sauced with a mix of ketchup, miracle whip, and hot sauce (50/50 the first two, hot sauce to taste). It actually tastes good and is a different prep for ribs.

None of the above will turn out "BBQ" ribs :lol:
