Not everyone knows how to choose quality meat correctly. What can we say about buying pork ribs? Professional meat sellers advise paying attention first of all to the shade of the meat. The lighter it is, the younger the animal was. And this means that the ribs will be soft and juicy. In addition, there should be no spots or, especially, mucus on the surface of the meat. Only a glossy surface.

How to cook Ribs with mushrooms

Step 1

Fry the meat. Heat vegetable oil in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Put the ribs in it. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown.

Step 2

Stew the meat with vegetables. Add onion and carrot to the ribs. Pour in water. Stew over medium heat until the meat is soft, about 40 minutes. Add mushrooms and spices, bay leaf. Stir. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

Ribs with mushrooms - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use boneless ribs instead of bone-in ribs for this recipe?

Yes, boneless ribs will work fine, but they may cook slightly faster than bone-in ribs, so adjust the stewing time accordingly.

What are the best mushroom substitutions if I don't have fresh mushrooms?

You can use canned or dried mushrooms (rehydrated first) as alternatives. Button, cremini, or shiitake mushrooms are all great options.

How can I make this dish vegetarian?

Replace the ribs with hearty vegetables like eggplant, portobello mushrooms, or seitan. Use vegetable broth instead of water for extra flavor.

How long can I store leftover ribs with mushrooms in the fridge?

Leftovers stay fresh for up to 3–4 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can I freeze this dish for later?

Yes, it freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

What sides pair well with ribs and mushrooms?

Mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or a fresh green salad complement this dish nicely. Crusty bread is also great for soaking up the sauce.

How can I thicken the sauce if it’s too thin?

Mix a small amount of cornstarch with water and stir it into the simmering dish, or simply reduce the liquid by cooking uncovered for a few extra minutes.

Can I make this dish in a slow cooker?

Absolutely! Brown the ribs first, then transfer to a slow cooker with all ingredients and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours.

What spices can I add for extra flavor?

Try smoked paprika, thyme, or a splash of Worcestershire sauce for deeper flavor. Adjust to your taste preferences.
