STELLA'S COUNTRY STYLE SMOTHERED
RIBS
 
1 (4 to 5 lb.) pkg. pork spare ribs
1 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. pepper
1 tbsp. seasoned salt
Oil (for frying)
Flour
Onions, sliced (optional)

Wash ribs and prepare for frying using the above seasonings. Cut ribs in serving. Drop pieces into brown paper bag with flour. Add enough flour to coat pieces. Shake bag. Oil should be hot, lay pieces in hot oil and fry as you would chicken, when all pieces are brown, pour off oil carefully, leaving brown crumbs in frying pan. Add about two heaping tablespoons of flour to pan and stir until flour browns. Frying pan should be set on medium heat. When flour is brown add hot water slowly, stirring as you pour. This makes good gravy. Add onions to gravy, put ribs back in pan and let simmer for about 30 minutes or until tender.

I thought this recipe was delicious!! i had it for dinner tonight actually and it was awesome! The only complaint id have is that the gravy is pretty plain. I added garlic as well as onions, and it was soo good, I will be making this again!

Made this tonight and it was excellent. How nice to find a recipe that didn't say "add 1 can, jar or bottle of sauce". If BBQ isn't what you want for dinner this is a wonderful alternative.

Leila, I make something very similar to this, except I use chops. If you like a tastier gravy, simply stir in a package of onion soup mix (Lipton or Wyler) into the roux before adding water. It perks it right up! Don't use golden onion. I also add garlic powder, onion powder, a bit of sage, pepper, a small pinch of ground red pepper (optional) to my flour mix before coating the pork. This works with beef cuts as well, and chicken, for dredge.

Mary, for some reason when smothering my pork chops, I can't keep them from being dry in the center. Even when smothering in oven. Have you had that experience?

Am going to copy this recipe... but also add remarks from Mary's review - to prepare this with adjustments for pork chops - chicken & beef cuts. Sounds like this recipe can be adjusted to serve several meats... (which I love). Thanks for submitting!
