Half kilo pork ribs burger
Have you ever tried a burger with ribs? I have never had it before. Yes, different meats – chicken, beef, pork, mutton, or even vegan soy burgers, but I had never had a burger with ribs. It sounds strange, doesn’t it? At the beginning I rather could not imagine how would it be served. Would it be a big part of ribs laid on a bun? Would these ribs be separated and put inside? Or would it be served boneless? If you are curious, how was it in fact, read the post!
What is inside this pork ribs burger?
That is the first question that comes to your mind when you think about this set. Probably that would be a meal composed of ribs served in a bun. But what is more? It should rather not be just so simple. And, yes, indeed, it is not. It is much more than just a piece of meat in bread and with some basic sauces.
Partially all that is true. But this burger is much more. It is a great composition of flavors and textures. Soft and juicy meat, an aromatic melted cheddar cheese, onion, pickles, and lettuce create a well-balanced meal.
The bun is delicate, fluffy, and relatively light. Pork ribs are tender, and the meat is separated from bones. That is really great. You do not have to fight with bones that cannot be easily removed from the burger. You just get meat and condiments. Nothing inedible.
Apart form that there are fresh vegetables and pickles. At the bottom of the burger are lettuce slices. Then comes meat that is topped with red onion slices and pickled cucumbers. Vegetables are under a couple of thin bacon slices. Finally, all that is covered with a generous slice of an aromatic cheddar cheese.
All that is well fried and baked. It is crispy but at the same time juicy and delicate.
How are ribs prepared and served in the burger?
Although this burger is called a ‘pork ribs’ burger, I think it is better to call it a ‘pork ribs’ meat’ burger. That would better reflect what you get. That is because inside you do not have bones that usually come when you order regular ribs.
The meat is separated from bones, cleaned and rather with no additional fat. All fat that usually comes with ribs is removed, and the only fat you have is the natural one that is inside the meat. Ribs’ meat is delicate and juicy. It is also slightly seasoned, thanks to what, the natural meat flavor is not killed.
What is it served with?
This pork ribs burger was served with baked potatoes and a delicate white sauce. The sauce is based on mayonnaise and garlic that are probably mixed with yoghurt or light sour cream. It is slightly salty and delicately spicy.
Potatoes are baked unpeeled. They are soft but not like a puree inside. The skin is tender and a little bit crunchy. They are not over roasted. Just ideal. Although potatoes are served with skin, they are also cut into smaller, vertical pieces.
Is it worth choosing the pork ribs burger?
Yes, definitively it is. It is something you might hardly ever meet. And it is worth trying it not only because it is so unpopular but also because it is also very good. Meat that is close to bones is usually very soft, juicy and many people say that it is the best one. Apart from that, parts of the fat can be easily trimmed off in case you would like to eliminate them. Ribs also do not have tough parts, chewy and fibrous elements and are not stringy. Finally, as it is served with an aromatic cheddar cheese and delicate sauces all flavors are distinguishable and you can enjoy the whole palette of aromas even though it is not the most traditional meal in Montenegro.
