Description

The Pork Dinner with Cornbread That Had Everyone Asking for Seconds. Slow-braised ribs, grilled sausages, and a gravy that starts with cauliflower? Sounds odd, tastes amazing. This Pork Dinner with Cornbread is all about comfort food that goes a little rogue, and it works. The best part? That spoonable gravy


Ingredients

Scale
  • Pork Ribs
  • Lamb stock
  • Chopped mushrooms
  • 3 big tablespoons of butter
  • 3 heaping spoonful of flour
  • Cornbread

Instructions

This dinner was seriously one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.

Juicy pork ribs and sausages grilled to perfection on the BBQ, a rich, hearty gravy, warm cornbread, and a crisp cucumber salad on the side.

Let’s talk about that gravy, it was next-level good.

After slowly cooking the pork ribs in lamb stock on the BBQ in a cast iron pan, all that flavorful liquid didn’t go to waste. I tossed in some chopped mushrooms and about half a head of cauliflower right into the pan and let it cook down until soft.

While that was simmering, I made a quick Roux: melted 3 big tablespoons of butter and stirred in 3 heaping spoonfuls of flour until it turned into a thick paste. That went straight into the veggie mix. The cauliflower had started to break down and blended right in, making the whole thing super creamy and thick.

A splash of milk helped smooth it out. The final result? A rich, spoonable gravy that you could pile high on cornbread. And trust me, you’ll want to.

This whole dinner was amazing. Easy, satisfying, and totally worth firing up the grill for.
