This dish starts with garlic sauteed in extra virgin olive oil. Then you add in tomato paste, chili powder and a few other goodies.
Pour it over some country style boneless pork ribs in the slow cooker.
That evening, you’ll have people trampling your kitchen floor in a stampede for the table.
My favorite way to serve this is over a bed of creamy cheese grits.
I top it with some fresh lime zest.
Left overs the next day make an aahhh-mazing panini.
Enjoy!

Note: I no longer eat pork, however I am leaving recipes like this one up for those who enjoy it. Many pork recipes can be easily converted to turkey or chicken recipes, with little or even no other changes. Recipes with bacon or sausage can use alternatives like beef or turkey bacon.
