Enjoying a delicious Hawaiian flavored pork ribs recipe on a cold winters night congers memories of warm tropical nights in the islands. Flavored with pineapple, ginger and garlic, these ribs are very tasty and it is a simple recipe for a weeknight as long as the ribs are thawed.
Start with:
2 pounds of boneless pork country ribs
Chop the ribs into 3 to 4 inch long chunks. Place a large 10 quart sized non-stick pan on the stove, and season with 2 tbsp canola or olive oil. Heat the pan for a minute, and then add the pork ribs. Cook over medium until the ribs are browned, stirring often to brown all sides.
Add 1 cup fresh chopped onion, and 1 tsp chopped garlic
Cook for 3 – 4 minutes until the onion is tender but not browned.
Add:
1 20 ounce can pineapple chunks
1 cup black vinegar
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 tsp ground ginger
Mix well, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Check the pot every 10 – 15 minutes and add water to the liquid should it get too thick.
Mix 1 tbsp corn starch with 1/2 cup water using a fork to blend well. Add to pan of ribs, stir in and cook, stirring often until sauce thickens.
Serve with Seasoned Rice and your favorite vegetable.
