Put this apple and celery stuffed spareribs dish together quickly and bake it in the oven. It is very simple to prepare and makes a nice presentation at the table.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 2 hours

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds spareribs, cut in chunks 3 or 4 ribs wide
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • .
  • Apple Celery Stuffing (see Note):
  • 1 cup soft white bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped apple
  • 1/4 cup minced celery
  • 2 Tablespoons minced yellow onion
  • 1 Tablespoon minced parsley
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Toss together bread crumbs, apple, celery, onion, parsley, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and egg. Turn half the spareribs hollow side up and spread evenly with stuffing; top with remaining ribs, meaty side up, to make "sandwiches," then tie each securely with string. Place ribs in a shallow roasting pan and sprinkle with half the salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, 1 hour and drain off drippings; turn ribs, sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper, and bake 1 hour longer or until tender and well browned.

Transfer to a hot platter, remove strings and serve.

Note: You can substitute your favorite poultry stuffing for the Apple Celery Stuffing.
