Papas Pork Ribs Recipes

PAP'S RIBS AND SPLIT PEA STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat a 6-quart Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the ribs and cook until brown on both sides, 3 to 6 minutes. Remove the ribs to a plate and set aside.
• Add the carrot, celery, onion, 1 tablespoon salt and cabbage if using and sweat the vegetables for about 3 minutes. Add the split peas, potatoes, garlic, bay leaf, smoked meat, cayenne pepper, ribs, 2 1/2 quarts water and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a simmer, skimming the foam that will rise to the surface as the water comes up to heat. When the liquid is at a simmer, lay the bacon slices on top of the stew, transfer to the oven and cook until the peas and ribs are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Discard the bay leaf. Remove the smoked meat from the soup. If using a ham hock, when it's cool enough to handle, pick off the meat and add it back to the soup (discard the bone). If using kielbasa, cut into slices and add it back to the soup. Chop up the bacon and add it to the soup.
• To serve, divide the ribs among bowls and ladle the soup over them.

PAP'S PORK AND SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cabbage, season with a large pinch of salt and cook until the vegetables begin to melt and break down, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the cider, beer, red pepper flakes, coriander, pureed sauerkraut and ham hock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
• Nestle the pork and sausage in the Dutch oven and continue to simmer for 45 minutes, until all of the meat is cooked through and tender. After 45 minutes, remove the ham hock, pork and sausage to a cutting board. Slice all of the meat and add it back into the pot. Mix in the parsley and mustard and additional salt and pepper, if needed.
