up the butter in large skillet until very hot but not so the butter
burns. Sear each piece of ribs (I do 4 at a time) on each side. I
like to sear, but it is not necessary. Sprinkle Lawry's salt
generously on both sides of each rib. Layer ribs in slow cooker and
pour diet coke over the top. Turn cooker on low (1 or 2) and cook
all day (about 7 hours). 1/2 hour before serving, season again if

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper -- flakes water to cover hocks
How to Prepare:
Put hocks in a large kettle and cover with water. Bring
to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20
minutes or until the meat starts falling off the bone.
Remove the hocks and let cool. Add the remaining
ingredients to the water and cover. (You want the
cabbage covered at least 3/4 of the way with
broth - so add more water if necessary to get this level.
You can add 2 cans chicken broth at this time of
you want this for soup).Simmer over low
heat until cabbage is tender(about 20 minutes).
When cooled enough,cut the meat off the hocks
and add back to the pan of simmering cabbage.
You can serve this drained or with the broth as a soup.
I know this seems pretty high carb - but it
makes a lot and it freezes well.
