Boiled Pork Ribs Recipe – Gekochte Spare Ribs oder Schälrippchen 

Although Mutti used to cook this on the stove, I like using my way how to cook ribs much better. I use a slow cooker as I find it so easy to get it ready in the morning, set it, and leave it. 

Servings:

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 rack of pork ribs cut into 2-rib sections
• 3 bay leaves
• salt and pepper
• mashed potatoes (enough for 4 servings)

Instructions:

1. Place ribs into slow cooker.
2. Add water until ribs are almost covered.
3. Add bay leaves and about 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
4. Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours or until meat is tender.
5. Remove bay leaves and re-season with salt and pepper.
6. Serve within a bed of mashed potatoes on each plate.

Notes/Hints:

• Serve the ribs in a 'lake' of broth  contained within the mashed potato 'dikes/walls'.
• Eat the meat off the bones, the broth, and the mashed potatoes being careful not to let the broth 'break' through the potato dikes.
• The winner is the one who can eat the most without letting the broth leak out!
