spareribs and saurkraut! 2 lbs of ribs, some lard, a little coarse salt and pepper. Season the ribs first with the salt and pepper Broil the the ribs first under the broiler, or if you don't care about your fat content, melt some lard in a roasting pan (be sure the roasting pan has a lid for later), and brown the ribs first. The lard method does "give a little something" to the taste. remove the ribs from the pan. Put a layer of saurkraut in the bottom, then a layer of ribs, then a layer of saurkraut, beginning and ending with saurkraut. You could also add some peeled apples to this for some extra taste. Set oven to 325, cover the roasting pan and bake for 2- 3 hours. Each hour, "turn the saurkraut" moving wetter saurkraut to the top and the drier to the bottom of the pan. The ribs are falling of the bone, and the saurkraut is to die for. This is probably one of my all time favourite dishes.
