Tex-Mex pork ribs
This is a carnivores’ dream come true. It’s a simple recipe that requires very little work, only an occasional “look see” to make sure that everything remains under control. While cooking, the meat might become dry depending on the amount of fat it contains and the cooking method used.
In Texas it is customary to add a little beer to the leftover marinade, to occasionally brush on the meat to prevent it from drying out. In fact any savory liquid would do: wine, fruit or even tomato juice would be a good idea.
