Glazed Pomegranate Pork Ribs on plateI came up with this recipe when I was actually craving a tart apple pork dish, but had no apples. Luckily, we have an abundance of pomegranates sitting around, so pomegranate pork was to be made. I can now report that this has my tart apple pork beat. Not only does the pomegranate compliment the meat perfectly, but the acidity of its juice really tenderizes the meat. It falls apart so easily without the need for a pressure cooker. This is an awesome one pan dish. I also adore its holiday colours!

I squeezed my own pomegranate juice. I've added a link below to my method of making pomegranate juice. You can purchase prepared pomegranate juice and seeds to use for this, too. If you do, you'll need 2/3 cup pomegranate juice and 1/4 cup of the seeds.

Prep Time: 15-20 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 50-55 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 2 to 3 large pomegranates
  • 1 lb country style pork ribs
  • salt and pepper
  • cooking oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 Tbsp mustard
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • fresh lemon wedges

Steps:

  1. Separate your pomegranates so you squeeze out about 2/3 cup juice, saving about 1/4 cup in seeds for garnish.
