Pork Ribs
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Microwave Time: 25 to 30 minutes
2 lbs. pork ribs
1 small yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons dark mustard
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 3/4 cup tomato sauce or ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
Peel and mince the garlic and peel and dice the onion. In a mixing bowl, stir the onion and garlic into the tomato sauce. Add in the mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, salt and pepper – stir well, so all ingredients are fully combined.
Place the ribs in a square, microwave-safe baking dish. Pour the sauce mixture – a little at a time – over ribs, rubbing the sauce into the meat of the ribs, and making sure that the ribs are fully covered. Keep the remaining sauce in the bowl available.
Place the ribs in the microwave and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove ribs from microwave, turn the ribs over, adding more sauce if the ribs look dry at all, and return to microwave for another 10 to 15 minutes until rib meat is fully cooked. You can tell the meat is fully cooked when it comes off the bone on it’s own, and it becomes very tender.
If desired, place the ribs on a hot grill for 10 minutes to give them a smoking flavory and to crisp up the edges. Use any remaining sauce to top the ribs before serving.
