Tender Pork Spare Ribs
This pork spare rib recipe was inspired by a celebrity chef's braising method for baby back ribs. I changed the seasonings and increased the cooking time, and I have been very pleased with them every time. These spare ribs are really tender, and the meat is so flavorful that you don't have to add BBQ sauce unless you want to. My neighbor is the one who told me about the fajita seasoning, and she was right on!
