Classic pork ribs in a slow cooker

Classics of the genre - pork ribs marinated in mayonnaise with garlic (or in tomato sauce). For cooking, the main thing is to find very fresh bones, covered with large pieces of meat. It is better not to get too fast lean ribs: in the process of stewing, light fat will melt, fill each fiber in the meat with delicious juices, so the dish will turn out to be delightfully tender!

We will need:

  • pork ribs - 1 kg;
  • mayonnaise - 100 m (or as much of any tomato sauce);
  • four cloves of garlic;
  • some vegetable oil for frying;
  • salt, pepper to taste.

We wash the ribs under running water to get rid of the small bones (which sometimes remain after cutting the carcass), wipe dry with a towel. We prepare marinade from mayonnaise and garlic (or mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic). If garlic seems unnecessary, replace the seasoning with another ingredient.

Marinate the ribs for an hour and a half, so that they are completely saturated with the sauce. We lubricate the multi-bowl with oil, turn on the “Frying” mode and fry the ribs to a crust. We close everything with a lid and turn on the baking mode - it will help to cook the baked ribs.

If you like stew, you can choose any other mode ("Meat", "Stew" and so on).

The finished meat is very soft, it peels off the bone.You can serve it with rings of pickled onions, any salad of fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes or rice as a side dish.

With potatoes

It is easy to bake meat and potato tubers at the same time, you get a thick, satisfying, aromatic stew. Pork ribs with potatoes in a slow cooker do not require a large number of components. To prepare, take a few potato tubers, peel them and cut into 2-3 parts. You can bake whole potatoes if they are not large. Then fry it with ribs, and fill it with half a glass of sauce - tomato paste mixed with salt, herbs, diluted in water.

Such ribs can be made with broth if you increase the amount of liquid: you get something in between the first and second courses. Serve stewed pork ribs better in deep clay or ceramic plates, sprinkled with plenty of parsley.

Onions add to stew if desired.
