How to Make Barbara S Country Style Ribs Sauerkraut And Potatoes

  1. Season 2 lbs country-style pork ribs with salt and pepper.
  2. In a Dutch oven or large pot, brown the ribs over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Add 1 cup of water to the pot, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until ribs are tender (approximately 60-90 minutes).
  4. Stir in 1 large (2 lb) bag of sauerkraut, 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Add 2 lbs small red potatoes, peeled and quartered.
  6. If using a Dutch oven, continue cooking until the potatoes are tender (about 30-45 minutes).
  7. Alternatively, transfer everything to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
