Best Double The Luck Ribs With Sauerkraut Cabbage Recipes

SPARERIBS AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F. Choose a baking pan that will accommmodate the ribs in pieces or all hitched together, with the kraut in the space left over. Eight country-style ribs cut into a 6-rib and a 2-rib hunk, plus the can of kraut, fit perfectly in a 9-by-13-inch pan. For more ribs, get a bigger pan and more kraut.
• Place the ribs in the pan and the sauerkraut in a mound beside them. Cover the ribs - not the kraut - with the barbecue sauce. Use as much as you like, maybe more than half the bottle, maybe less. Cover the pan tightly withaluminum foil and bake for 3 hours. Lift a corner of the foil near the end of the time to sneak a look. The ribs should be nicely browned and glazed and your mouth should water. Serve hot.

PORK RIBS AND SAUERKRAUT-HILLTOP STYLE

Steps:

• Place sauerkraut in a large roasting pan.
• Place ribs on top of kraut and add the chicken broth- pouring it over the ribs.
• Cover roaster and slow roast in 300 degree oven for about 2 1/2 hours. Shorten cooking time by raising temperature to 375 degrees for 1 1/2 hours if you are in a hurry.
• Watch out when you remove the lid because the aroma may drive you to dig in before it's out of the oven!
• Serve individually with mashed potatoes, placing some of the kraut and juice on the potatoes. Or serve family style with ribs on top of kraut.
• Extended cooking tends to melt the kraut into the broth so if you are cooking it for a long time, add even more kraut. It's good as a leftover too.

DOUBLE THE LUCK RIBS WITH SAUERKRAUT & CABBAGE

Steps:

• Pour sauerkraut into a colander and rinse with cool running water; let drain. (You can also use jarred or bagged sauerkraut from the deli as a better alternative to canned kraut.)
• In a roasting pan about 10" x 14" mix together kraut, cabbage, 1/2 T. paprika, ½ teaspoons pepper, garlic, tomatoes and optional grated apple & chopped onions. (You can choose hot or mild Hungarian paprika or the ordinary domestic variety.) Dot with a little butter.
• Lay ribs on sauerkraut mixture, curved side up, sprinkle meat evenly with pepper, about ½ T. paprika, and a little salt if you choose. Tightly cover pan with foil and bake in a 375 degree oven for 1-1/2 hours.
• Mix together bread crumbs, about 2 teaspoons of paprika and salt & pepper to taste. Remove foil, turn ribs over, and sprinkle with crumb mixture.
• Bake uncovered until meat is very tender when pierced and crumbs are brown, about 20 minutes longer.
• Cut ribs apart into serving size pieces and place on a platter surrounded with the sauerkraut.
• Do you feel the LUCK?
