Getting a good quality mince is not easy.  Not knowing whats inside a packet that comes from abroad keeps me back from buying it. But every now and then I buy a pack , I prefer the Ayam brand which tastes the best or I mince  some boneless chicken breast in the food processor.  I make a batch , cook them and then freeze them so I have a batch to make pasta or pop into rice or even for sandwiches during the week.

On our last trip to the coast of North Carolina we developed a huge craving for BBQ Ribs. I had some honey barbecue sauce and discovered a can of pineapple rings, and added to this mixture a sweet onion and green bell pepper.  So I made layers of all of these ingredients in the slow cooker with generous sprinklings of sea salt and freshly ground pepper, and the rest as THEY say is history. The end result turned out to be some of the best ribs we had ever had the pleasure of passing over our tongues to out bellies. That being said....be sure and try it...it is simple and soul satisfying. Cook it on the LOW setting for 8 to 10 hours. You'll be glad you did!
