2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder
1 teaspoon smoked salt or sea salt
2 1/2-3 pounds pork spare ribs rack
1 small head of red cabbage (about 2 pounds), shredded

1
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F.
2
In a medium bowl, make the marinade by whisking together the mustard, molasses, five-spice powder, and salt.
3
Pat the ribs dry, remove the membrane, and cut the rack in half. Place the ribs in a baking pan and rub with the marinade on both sides.
4
In the Dutch oven, toss the cabbage, apples, green onions, cherries, cider vinegar, ghee, and salt.
5
Place the ribs on top of the vegetables, meaty side up, cover, and cook for 1 hour.

Carefully remove the lid so the steam does not burn you, and switch the oven to broil; broil the ribs for another 10 minutes or until they are brown. Remove from the oven and let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving.
7
Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
