Earl Cooks Pork Rib Chunks & Gravy Over Potatoes with Asparagus

More often than not, I don't plan meals in advance. I think that having ingredients on hand inspire my day-to-day cooking. I had two applewood rubbed and roasted ribs (see my) post Jurassic Pork - Ribs 
and an idea was forming for the meal. I also had some sous vide asparagus which would make a great side dish. Since it was a weeknight and time was precious, I grabbed an envelope of pork gravy I had hiding in the back of the cupboard, and one of my favorite quick sides—Idahoan Potatoes.
 —Using the previously roasted ribs, I trimmed all of the fat and diced the ribs into ¾" inch pieces. 
I made the gravy in a deep frying pan and added the pork to the gravy and heated it through.
—Next, I made the potatoes per package instructions, and added a tablespoon of REAL butter. My asparagus is cooked so I just need to heat it in the microwave and dinner is served!

Results & Conclusions
This was really good! I was fortunate to have prepared the asparagus sous vide earlier, and roasted the pork beforehand. You could say this was leftovers elevated. I don't know if I will make this again because I don't have any packaged pork gravy left!😃
