Braised Spareribs with Pineapple
One of my favorite Thai dishes, and this one isn't spicy at all...although I'm sure you can make it spicy if you want!
- 400 grams pork spareribs cut into 2 inch pieces
- 1 cup fresh pineapple sliced into chunks
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice or orange
- 1 tablespoon seasoning sauce
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar
- 1 teaspoon white peppercorn
- 1 teaspoon coriander root roughly chopped
- 1-2 garlic cloves roughly chopped
- 2 cups chicken stock
In a mortar, combine peppercorn, garlic and coriander and pound to a paste.
Mix the peppercorn mixture with ketchup, soy sauce, seasoning sauce, palm sugar and stir well.
Add mixture to pork and combine well. You can let marinate in refrigerator for an hour or two if you have time.
Add pork mixture to pot and add chicken stock and juice and combine well.
Add pineapple to the pot and simmer over low heat until the spareribs are tender and sauce is thick, about 45 minutes to an hour.
