I was at the
store the other day and they had country pork ribs on sale so I was ready for
some pork and kraut. If you’re not
familiar with them, country ribs are just pork shoulder cut to look like a rib
and sometimes they have a small bone in them – which these did.
Everything was
very good and the potatoes worked well as a stand alone dish.
I used the
crockpot to cook a package of ribs with some of our homemade kraut.
We sided it
with mashed potatoes using the recipe Penny, from Lake Lure Cottage Kitchen, used
to top her French Shepherd’s Pie.
I'm now
responding to your comments and hoping you will stop back by - photos best if
enlarged by clicking on them.
Have a great
day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

I cook these 'ribs' all the time and love 'em - esp the boneless ones when using a saucy finishing mop or gravy. Have not had a kraut dish in years, gonna have to change that.
ReplyDeleteCountry ribs are hard to hook up wrong.
DeleteMy friend Cauleen does shredded pork roast, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes every New Year's Day. And I have a crockpot recipe for these pork ribs, sauerkraut and apples .... and now seeing your post I'm suddenly very hungry for pork and mashed potatoes. Looks delicious Larry.
ReplyDeleteThat dish sounds very good with the apples in the kraut - can I have the recipe?
DeleteI have a sudden craving for ribs now. The whole meal looks fantastic Larry!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam - your dishes do that to me on a regular basis.
DeleteI don't make my own sauerkraut but I sure do love to eat it with ribs and mashed potatoes. Your meal looks YUMMY!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna and I think I like the store bought kraut as well or better.
DeleteI made an Irish dish last night - Colcannon which is mashed potatoes, onions and cabbage - so this was close! I will make it again and try to snap a photo before it gets eaten up. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteWe often have colcannon for SPD and I'm a big fan of it.
DeleteI need to make room in my schedule for meals at your place! Why must I be so close and yet so busy?! Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteWe'll look forward to seeing you when you get time.
DeleteMashed potatoes do look extra good and you can't go wrong with pork and kraut.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris
DeleteI just love country ribs. They're so tender and easy to cook!
