Spare rib chops?

nublue

Hi,

Bought some of therse going cheap, but not sure what to do with them, do I treat them like ribs or chops? Fry or slow cook?

Any inspiration on receipes would be much appreciated!:beer:

Thanks

I marinade them in garlic and thyme or rosemary, and some olive oil, and cook them on a hot griddle pan, for about 5-8mins a side depending how thick they are, then squeeze over some lemon before serving (good old Nigel Slater ), they are lovely, moister than loin chops because of the marbling

Similar flavours to above, but we like them cooked l-o-n-g and s-l-o-w in the oven. Wipe a little olive oil onto a sheet of foil, sprinkle the chops with oregano, slices of fresh garlic, salt and pepper and a slice of lemon, wrap into parcels and place in a baking tray for a good few hours on a very low oven. all the juices are contained in the parcel and the meat is mouthwateringly tender.

I had some the other day to cook and felt as if I were in a bit of a quandry too.

I fried them off (browned) them in a pan, and then transfered into the slow cooker with a bit of stock and a good glug (half the bottle) of something called "Yoshida's Gourmet Sauce" - it was lurking in the cupboard - and a couple of table spoons of honey. Might sound overkill but it was blerdy lovely.

Thanks all, they are all lovely ideas and sound delish!! I have however decided to go for the slow baked in the oven idea, so I will let you all know how it goes!!

Gonna make some boulangere potatoes and some runner beans with it too... Yum!

Hi, Well I didn't do so well with them - I managed to have the heat up too high I think - they were pretty dried out and crunchy in places!! However they were delicious still, and had they been nice and moist they would have been perfect!

Will have to buy them again to see if I can do better next time...

Thanks again,

next time,you might like to try marinading them for a couple of hours in a mix of 1/2 tomato ketchup,1/2 soy sauce.
then cook for 30 mins at 180 degrees,yummy!
