Preparation

1. Using your hands, crush Furmano's Whole Tomatoes in a large bowl.
2. In large pot or Dutch oven, brown spareribs in 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat; remove and set aside.
3. Add remaining tablespoon oil and onions to the pot; saute onions until golden and translucent.
4. Add garlic; cook another 2 minutes. (Do not let garlic burn!)
5. Add all remaining ingredients, including spareribs.
6. Bring to boil; reduce heat; simmer for three hours or until the spareribs are fork-tender.
7. If ribs have bones, remove ribs from pot and cut meat from bones, then put the meat back into the sauce.

9. Cook sauce until all surface liquid is gone.
