Slow-roasted pork is shredded and mixed with a tangy barbeque sauce, then loaded into hoagie rolls and topped with homemade coleslaw. This is not a sandwich for the faint of heart!

Braised Country Pork Ribs with Tomato and Fennel by Chef Andrea Reusing

Cooking country ribs with moist heat helps melt excess fat and soften tough bits. Here they're cooked until browned and then braised with tomatoes, wine and aromatic vegetables so they absorb tons of flavor. The braising liquid is then reduced into a sweet-and-salty sauce for glazing the ribs and drizzling over them before serving.
