ingredients

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic granules
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 kg pork rib roast (with bones)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 apples, sliced (about 300 g)
• 3 onions, sliced
• 300 ml apple cider

directions

1. Mix and combine dry ingredients.
2. Rub the pork rib on all sides with dry mixture, let it sit for 15 minutes.
3. In the meantime, heat an uncovered deep roasting pan (just a little bit bigger than the rib roast) in the oven preheated to 250°C
4. Rub the meat with olive oil, place in a hot pan and bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove from the oven and from the baking pan, and reduce oven temperature to 150°C.
5. Spread apple and onion slices on the bottom of the pan, add cider.
6. Place the rib roast on apples and onions, tightly cover with a lid and bake for about 2 hours. Check, once or twice that there is enough liquid to prevent apples and onions from burning.
7. When done, let the rib roast rest for 15 minutes, then gently pull apart with a fork (or fingers) from the bone and serve with the apple and onion sauce and mashed potatoes.
