My advice would be to use blade chops/shoulder chops, not loin chops/center cut pork chops, if you’re going to do a long, slow cook, but, otherwise, yeah, it should work fine. Sirloin chops will work well, too.
Tell her to grill me a pork chop
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Without nor skillet nor stove top
Then she’ll be a true love of mine
Well, OP, didja try it?
Not yet, it will be Friday so that I can eat the leftovers during the weekend.
What are country ribs?
Country ribs are a cut of pork from the shoulder, it usually comes in strips about the length and width of ribs. It’s a fatty cut that benefits from long slow cooking.
Special request from the butcher? I’ve never seen it it grocery stores.
Generally available in the mid west where pork is king. Sometimes made from rib chops, but not as good as those made from shoulder.
Yeah, country style ribs are ubiquitous here in Chicago. But butchering cuts vary regionally.
I live in DC and country ribs are very common here. It’s a cheap cut of meat, maybe it has a different name in other places. Country ribs are great for the slow cooker or in stews.
More info on country style ribs. They kind of look like the pork version of boneless beef short ribs (and they essentially are cut from the same general area of both animals, i.e., the shoulder/blade area.)
Thanks, ignorance fought. I’ll have to phone around and make some inquiries. Not in the midwest, and the butchers around here are mostly Kosher or Halal.
Obviously Kosher and Halal aren’t going to have pork, but are you in the States? It probably has a different name in other countries.
It may not even have another name, as meat is butchered differently across countries. I lived for a number of years abroad, and there was some overlap in the cuts (like tenderloin tended to be a cut everywhere), but other cuts were different than what was typical in the US. I don’t recall, for instance, ever seeing anything like country style ribs in Hungary (though you could probably buy sertéstarja and cut it down into country style ribs. That’s approximately the same area of the pig.)
I live in the Southern US, which I guess is like a different country.
Edited: I now realize we have a ton of Hispanic butchers but I don’t use them because I don’t know enough Spanish to delve into the nuances of meat cuts.
FWIW, I find country ribs at my local Safeway.
I would ask ‘what’s a Safeway’ but I think we’ve already gotten to the meat of the problem here
They’re at Costco around here, too.
I’m 98% certain I’ve seen country ribs at Walmart.
Huh. I’ll dig a little deeper in the meat section then. Maybe I haven’t seen it because I haven’t been looking for it.
