One of the most versatile meats you can purchase is pork. You know, the other white meat. There are so many cuts, prices, etc., just look for deals. This week, I picked up a package of 8 country ribs for $5.65. That’s awesome, right? But then…I round the corner and fresh corn is on sale, $.15 cents a piece! But that’s not all. I round the next corner and Red Stripe is on sale for $6.99.Shoot. I felt like I just won the lotto!  Turn on that oven and start a seasonin’.  I’m gonna sit on the patio, watch the girls run and play and enjoy me an ice cold Stripe!

Pork Country Ribs, slow roasted with Corn, Carrots and Potatoes:

Country Ribs, Pork (2.5 lbs) – $5.65
6 ears of corn – $.90
4 stalks of fresh Carrots – $.75
2 large Russet or White Potatoes – $.50

1 Tbsp liquid smoke – pantry
1/2 cup beef or chicken broth (you can use water)
Butter

COST: $7.80

Rub ribs with 1 Tbsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 Tbsp oil and liquid smoke (save the other salt, pepper and oil for veggies). Once meat is seasoned, place into large roasting pan, cover pan tightly with tin foil and roast for 2 hours at 275 degrees.

After 2 hours, open up pan, but save your foil. Cube potatoes into large pieces, cut up carrots into 2-3 inch pieces and halve your fresh, clean corn. Place all the veggies on the sides of meat and season with remaining salt, pepper and olive oil. Recover with tin foil and turn oven up to 400. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until potatoes are soft.

Serve corn with butter and enjoy. Outside of time, this recipe is easy and delicious!
