Dutch Oven Ribs Recipes

DUTCH OVEN BABY BACK RIBS WITH SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Cut slab of ribs into 3 equal segments.
• Heat a saute pan over medium-low to low heat. Lightly toast caraway seeds until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer seeds to a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle and grind until powdered; set aside.
• Place bacon in a Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes. Leave the bacon fat in the pot. Mince the bacon.
• Season rib pieces with 1/2 of the powdered caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Set remaining powdered caraway aside.
• Heat the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the rib pieces in the hot pot, working in batches and turning as needed, 3 to 5 minutes per piece. Set ribs aside on a plate. Add sauerkraut to the pot with remaining caraway powder and additional salt and pepper. Cook and stir for 5 to 8 minutes. Add bacon and white wine; cook for 5 to 6 minutes more. Return rib pieces and cover the pot.
• Bake in the preheated oven until ribs are tender and wine has reduced, about 3 hours. Let rest for 8 to 10 minutes before serving.

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until the oil shimmers, and brown the ribs on all sides, about 10 minutes per side. Remove the ribs, and pour in the beef broth, ketchup, brown sugar, lemon juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, seafood seasoning, dried onion, nutmeg, and salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients until the sauce has dissolved any brown bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium-low heat, and transfer the ribs back into the sauce.
