Bayrische Rippchen – oven-made Bavarian Spare Ribs

An alpine version of Spare Ribs – a very old recipe

Since the alpine kitchen really uses every part of meat – from head to tail – there is of course also an alpine version of spare ribs. It is not marinated in a regular bbq smokey sauce, but more of a simple approach of a one pot dish. It is grilled in an oven form together with potatoes and cabbage. It is first braised under a lid and only grilled hot in the second part. This makes the meat very tender and it takes on the flavour of the caraway and cabbage well.

One pot meal, easy to prepare

And because everything is prepared in one pot, the recipe is very easy to cook. All it needs is a little time and a look in the oven every now and then to see if there is still enough liquid in the casserole dish. Due to the relatively long cooking time, however, the whole dish takes on an extraordinarily delicious flavour and is an alpine soul food. And it is also served straight from the oven as a whole in the dish. Perfect for a Sunday dinner.

Tips for juicy and tender ribs

For a truly tender meat experience, buy meat with a high fat content and thick cuts. The thinner the meat, the drier it can become in the oven. It is also advisable to check the oven every 20-30 minutes to see if there is still enough liquid in the oven dish. If you don’t have a lid to the oven dish, you can also cover it with a layer of aluminium foil and press it down around the edges. In addition, the grilling process at high temperature should not take too long. Make sure that the meat does not get too dark or burnt. The dish would only become dry and bitter. If the meat or other ingredients get too dark during the grilling process, you can baste them with cold water so that they do not burn.

Enjoy your Sunday one pot soul food with friends and family. A dry white wine or a beer are the perfect accompaniment to this meal.
