Braised Spare Ribs with White Wine, Garlic, and Anchovies

These braised spare ribs with white wine, garlic, and anchovies may not be pretty, but they are meaty, tender, and ready in a little over an hour.

These spare ribs are easy to make and easy to eat...  no grill or extra napkins required.

Using two large pots, I made a double batch of these braised spare ribs so we could have leftovers for my oldest grandson, who comes to our house after school every afternoon to do his homework. He's fourteen, growing like crazy, and loves ribs. He's usually ravenous after school. He loved these!

This recipe is adapted from Kitchen Matrix: More than 700 Simple Recipes and Techniques to Mix and Match for Endless Possibilities. It's a collection of all of Mark Bittman's Matrix themed columns from the New York Times.

This recipe is from the section, Pork Ribs +9 Ways. On just one page, there are delicious looking recipes for braised ribs, grilled ribs, and smoked and roasted ribs. I decided to try these braised ribs.

Camilla of Culinary Adventures with Camilla is cooking her way through the book, with the help of Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm. Keep an eye on their blogs every Tuesday for a new post about the book. After the recipe are the participants' contributions this week.
