Breaking Out the Ribs This Yom Tov? Make These English Ribs
Years ago we slathered sweet sauce on roast or ribs, covered them, then simply cooked them until they were butter soft. Not that there’s anything wrong with that method. But in the past few years, the rise of kosher restaurants with knowledgeable chefs has taught up that there are also other techniques which can even better showcase the flavor of great quality kosher meat.
My cousin Rivky B. shared this recipe with me. She got it from a friend and when I called the friend to ask if we could share it with our readers, she said yes, but said, “Recipes are to share, there’s no need to credit me.”
If you don’t use imitation soy sauce on Pesach, save this recipe for Shabbos or Shavuos!

A few of us are questioning what English ribs are. Can you help us with that.

Sorry, they are ribs cut into squares with the meat on top, bone on the bottom.
