Slow cooking these boneless ribs Italian-style with tomatoes, pearl onions, and olives is how you make an effortlessly great meal.

1 tablespoon light olive oil
3 1/2 pounds boneless spareribs
1 can (28-35 ounce size) diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup pearl onions (frozen or canned)
1 1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 can (6 ounce size) black olives
Pour oil into large skillet over medium-high heat and brown spare ribs well on each side.
Spray slow cooker with vegetable oil spray and place browned ribs in bottom.
Pour tomatoes and juice into hot skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes to help deglaze and loosen all rib drippings. Add remaining ingredients to tomatoes, and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Pour tomatoes on top of ribs in slow cooker.
Cover and cook for 6-7 hours, until meat is fork-tender.
Delicious served over rice.
