Ingredients
4 lb (2 kg) Ontario Pork Back Ribs or Country-Style Pork Spareribs
1/2 cup (125 mL) water
2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
2 tbsp (25 mL) minced Ontario Garlic (about 6 cloves)
1 can (14 oz/398 mL) tomato or pizza sauce
1/4 cup (50 mL) Ontario Maple Syrup
1 tbsp (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp (2 mL) Tabasco sauce
1 small Ontario Cabbage, coarsely shredded (about 20 cups/5 L)
2 Ontario Onions, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
Preparation
Cut back ribs in half (or to fit pan); arrange in single layer in large roasting pan. Add water; cover tightly with foil and bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in small skillet, heat oil over low heat; cook garlic, without browning and stirring often, for 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, maple syrup, Worcestershire and Tabasco. Remove from heat and set aside.
Remove ribs from pan and drain off all fat. Add cabbage, onions and salt, tossing to combine and firmly pressing down into pan. Brush both sides of ribs with sauce; nestle into cabbage mixture. Spoon half of the remaining sauce over ribs, letting it run down sides. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Add remaining sauce to ribs, bake 15 to 25 more minutes or until cabbage is hot and cooked as desired, stirring cabbage occasionally. Remove ribs to centre of serving platter; stir cabbage mixture and arrange around ribs.
