Equipment

  • Large Oven-Safe Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Dutch Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds country-style pork ribs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Season the country-style pork ribs on all sides with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes per side, then remove them to a plate.
  • Add the diced onion to the same skillet and cook for 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the drained pinto beans, molasses, ketchup, brown sugar, yellow mustard, and water. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the onions and garlic.
  • Nestle the browned ribs into the bean mixture. Cover the skillet and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 2 hours until the ribs are fork-tender.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For deeper flavor, let the assembled dish sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before baking so the ribs absorb more of the molasses sauce. If the beans thicken too much during cooking, stir in an extra splash of water before serving. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet over low heat with a little added water to loosen the sauce.
