Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut milk
- 1 large, diced Onion
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Season the country-style pork ribs with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Sear the ribs in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Turn off the heat.
In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, ground ginger, cumin, paprika, coriander, cayenne pepper, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Whisk well to create the sauce.
In a crock pot, layer the seared pork ribs and sautéed onion mixture.
Pour the coconut milk spice sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork is fork-tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Stir gently to evenly coat the ribs in the sauce before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or mashed potatoes.
