Hoisin (but not really) Country Ribs

Country-style pork ribs are seared for deep flavor, then slow-cooked in a hoisin-tomato sauce with shiitake mushrooms until meltingly tender. The sauce is savory with gentle sweetness and umami notes, soaking into the meat as it cooks. Hoisin (but not really) Country Ribs are perfect for a cozy dinner when you want rich, slow-simmered comfort.
