Buttery, tender meat and a tomato sauce with a secret ingredient. It’s a perfect meal for a snowy day.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season pork ribs with salt and pepper. Working in two batches, sear the pork until light golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. As each batch of pork is seared, place it in the bottom of the crockpot.
Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Add shallots and garlic to the pot. Sauté until the shallots are light golden brown. Add tomato paste and cook until the paste becomes dark red, approximately 3 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes, red wine, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Pour the tomato sauce into the crockpot. Add cannellini beans to the crockpot. Cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, or until the pork is tender.
Remove the pork from the crockpot and cut into bite-sized pieces. Return the pork to the crockpot and keep warm until ready to serve over rice or pasta (I use egg noodles). Garnish with chopped fresh Italian parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

Sorry that it took me so long to respond to this question! I have a 5-quart crockpot, but you could simply reduce the size of the recipe. The ribs are typically small enough that you shouldn’t have a problem fitting them into your crockpot.

Sounds dee-vine. And intrigued by use of fish sauce here; sounds like someone who know her way around a recipe! Fish sauce can do lovely things to a dish.
Must admit to being a crockpotter virgin — could you please tell me how big a slow cooker is needed for this recipe? I have a 3 1/2 qt just waiting to be taken off the shelf, but don’t want to buy those ribs if cooker isn’t big enough. Considering canned cannellini beans are already cooked, I am amazed they hold up to 6 hours of cooking. But I see them in other slow-cooker recipes, too, so they must. Well, I am gonna find out if this will fit into my cooker.
