Ribs, Ribs, and more ribs

I have posted several times about using pulled pork and brisket for other dishes.  Our house, always has bags of leftover meat in the freezer that we use for a variety of purposes.

The new thing for us is freezing the rib meat.   I love ribs, Mrs boatbum doesn't.   Its the messy finger oriented part of it that turns her off.

Recently, we have started cooking ribs, I get to eat what I want off the Egg.   Then take the leftovers - strip the meat off and use it on other dishes.

Cooked ribs over the weekend, 1 babyback salt and pepper only, 1 spare with Stubbs.    Ate what I wanted, then stripped off two 1 lb bags for the freezer.   Only 1 bag made it to the freezer, the next night did pizza with rib meat - was fabulous.    If you like the meat you get from a rib, think about this - imagine it in every bite of a piece of pizza.

Just a thought - passing it on.

    I've put leftover pulled pork on pizza.  I don't see how meat stripped from ribs would be much different.  It is quite good as a topping.

    Interesting, I never really realized this, until I started stripping rib meat off the bone to bag.   Much different texture, I think because the overall piece of meat is thinner maybe, absorbs flavors differently, maybe permeates all the way through.   The Salt and Pepper ribs - are very distinctly pork flavor with smoke.   When you bring in the rubs and the glazes - you get those flavors very distinctly.

    Its almost like you have ultimate control of the flavoring wiht ribs.   This is fairly new to me, so based on limited observation - but - almost seems like the rib meet is leaner than pulled pork.

    Anyway - would suggest its worth trying - see what you think.
