Pork Spare Ribs (Nutshell Farm)

What? Made for low and slow. Rub them, cook them gently for a few hours so the fat melts away, then finish them sticky on the barbecue. Packs are 700g to 860g.

Cook it like this Try Oven Pork Ribs with Barbecue Sauce by Nagi Maehashi at RecipeTin Eats. For spare ribs, Nagi suggests cutting the covered cooking time to 1 hour 10 minutes.

A winter pig This is a winter pig, so you'll notice more fat than on supermarket pork. That's normal and it's where a lot of the flavour lives. The fat is softer too, and it melts away as it cooks, so don't be surprised when the pan fills up. Most of these cuts love a long, slow cook to render that fat down.

Why Organic? Sharon's pigs at Nutshell Farm are certified organic and certified biodynamic through Demeter, certification BDRI 797, right up until slaughter. They're born on the farm they grow up on and live with very little stress.

Where Does It Come From? Our pork comes from Sharon at Nutshell Farm in Peacock Creek, NSW. Matt at Bray Park Butchery in Murwillumbah butchered it, and we drove up and collected it from him ourselves.

How certified organic works To call meat fully certified organic, every step has to be certified, from the paddock through to the butcher's block. It's managed end to end. Sharon's pigs are certified organic and biodynamic right up until slaughter. Matt cuts other meat as well as certified organic and his butchery isn't certified, so we can't say this last step happened under the certification.

What we can tell you is how it was done. Sharon and Matt have a strong working relationship, and she is very particular about where her pigs are butchered. Matt butchered this pig whole, independently of any other meat. It's one piece of the certified organic puzzle, and we'd rather you knew exactly where each piece sits.

Honestly, we feel lucky to have this pork at all. Small producers are having a hard time getting space for processing, which makes it tricky for them to finish their products. And they're the ones with a really high care factor for animal welfare, so they're very picky about who handles this part.
