Braised Ribs with Sausage
I just made this Braised Ribs with Sausage recipe the other day. Pork ribs have always been related to barbeques but Italians have been braising them for years. You can baked them then braise them in your gravy instead of using neck bones or you can make this delicious recipe below. Sometimes I just braise them in a seasoned broth and serve them as appetizers.
This recipe has the added flavor of Italian sausage which gives the sauce a richer texture. You can use regular baby back ribs if you prefer but I always use the meatier country-style ribs for this dish. Make sure you serve this Braised Ribs with Sausage dish with a loaf of crusty rustic style Italian bread and bottles of vino.
