1 pkg. pork country style ribs
1 large onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. olive oil
low-sodium salt, to taste (optional)

ADOBO SAUCE:

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 (12 oz.) can 7-Up soda (I use diet)
2 medium dried bay leaves
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water

In large skillet, on high heat, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until transparent, add baby back ribs and stir for 2 minutes till opaque in color. Stir in all sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil, add low sodium salt to taste, if needed.

Reduce heat to low, and cook for 1 hour or until all liquid is reduced to sauce like consistency, stirring once in a while, and the meat is very tender.

Best serve with rice.
