| Yummy 😋 |
Ingredients:
1 rack spare ribs
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 cup water
Instructions:
Prepare the Ribs: If the spare ribs have a membrane on the back, remove it by sliding a knife under the membrane and pulling it away from the ribs. Cut the rack of ribs into individual portions if desired.
Season the Ribs: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, onion powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and kosher salt. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over the surface of the ribs.
Make the Glaze: In another bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and fresh lemon juice until well combined.
Place the Ribs in the Crockpot: Pour the water into the bottom of the crockpot. Arrange the seasoned ribs in the crockpot in a single layer.
Pour the Glaze: Drizzle the honey balsamic glaze over the ribs, making sure to coat them evenly.
Cook: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook the ribs on low heat for 6-8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bones. Alternatively, you can cook them on high heat for 3-4 hours.
Baste: Optionally, halfway through the cooking time, baste the ribs with some of the juices from the bottom of the crockpot to keep them moist and flavorful.
Serve: Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the crockpot and transfer them to a serving platter. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
