As we have been sheltering at home for some weeks now, we have started to run out of really good meat. We still have what we call "garbage chicken" and a couple odds and ends. We decided to support our local businesses and put in an order to a seed and beef service in the area. We gave them a budget and told them to just give us an assortment of beef and pork. Once of the pork products we got was riblets. Very little fat, little ribs. They were adorable. I found a recipe to braise them, and then immediately ignored most of the recipe and happily went off in my own direction. The result was ribs with meat that was tender and falling off the bone. Flavor? HELLS YES. They were tangy from the vinegar with a nice bit of heat from the peppers and Cajun seasoning. This recipe is stupid easy and just about fool-proof. Enjoy!

| Spicy Vinegar Braised Riblets |
Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork riblets (you could probably use any pork ribs you want, we just liked the idea of little ribs!)
- Cajun seasoning
- 1 cup hot pepper infused vinegar (if you don't have this you can get by with a cup of white vinegar and a couple chopped jalapenos or a teaspoon or so of cayenne)
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon dried, minced onions
Directions
- Preheat oven to 300F (150C, Gasmark 2)
- Liberally sprinkle Cajun seasoning over both sides of riblets.
- Cut riblets into individual pieces and put in Dutch oven.
- In a bowl, mix the vinegar, tomato sauce, and onions
- Pour contents of bowl over riblets
- Cover Dutch oven and put in oven for 75 minutes or until meat starts to fall off the bone
