Hoisin (But Not Really) Country Ribs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon peanut oil
3 pounds country-style pork ribs
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon dried minced onion, or more to taste
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
3 shiitake mushrooms, sliced

Preparation

Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat. Brown the ribs evenly in the hot oil, about 5 minutes; remove from heat.
Stir the tomato sauce, dried onion, hoisin sauce, and shiitake mushrooms together in a slow cooker. Add the ribs to the sauce mixture, turning to coat in the sauce.
Cook on Low until the ribs are falling-apart tender, 8 to 10 hours.
