Recipe: A Boiled Dinner with Variations (using spareribs) (1955)

Main Dishes - Assorted
A BOILED DINNER

2 pounds pork spareribs
1 1/2 cups hot water
4 medium-sized potatoes, pared and halved
1 1/2 cups canned or cooked green snap beans and liquid
additional vegetables (optional)*
Salt and pepper

Brown spareribs in fry pan without added fat. Add water and simmer about 1 hour.

Add potatoes to meat and cook until tender - about 25 minutes. Add beans and liquid the last 10 minutes, of cooking.. If raw green beans are used, add with potatoes.

Season with Salt and pepper. Skim off excess fat before serving.

*A variety of vegetables may be used in a "boiled" dinner. In addition to potatoes, use onions, large pieces of carrot, and wedges of cabbage. Add cabbage about 20 .minutes .before serving,, as it cooks more quickly than the other vegetables.

VARIATIONS:

- Beef short ribs may be used with longer cooking.

- Corned beef, meaty ham hock or ham bone may be used in place of the spareribs. Cover with water and simmer about 3 hours or until tender. Omit salt, and continue as above. Good with sauerkraut.

Makes about 4 servings
