Helpful hints
- If desired add additional barbecue sauce at the table.
- Choose barbecue sauce lowest in sodium or try one of the DaVita.com homemade barbecue sauce recipes.
- These ribs freeze well. Make extra for a quick meal later.
- Great for leftovers. Try the pork on a bun with coleslaw and hot sauce.
- Adjust the portion to match your meal plan if you are on a lower protein diet.
