Braised Short Ribs
First time making these. Quite pleased with myself lol , they are amazing
I did double the garlic and used 3/4 of a bottle of Cabernet as I only had 4 short ribs that were about 1.75 pounds. This recipe asked for more but I love extra sauce anyway. The last simmer of the sauce I added a dollop of tomato paste ~
Added steamed carrots and sautéed mushrooms in the last hour for extra flavor ~
Made an artisan bread with it to sop up the juices

I’ll list the recipe as I found it but personally I find this needs to cooked at a slightly lower temperature. I also don’t peel the potatoes as like the textures and I tend to add additional seasoning onto the chicken (paprika, oregano or whatever I feel like on the day). I never bother cutting slits into the chicken pieces and I don’t measure but just toss in whatever quantity I know we’ll eat of everything. It’s a super simple ‘lazy person’ meal but very tasty. I usually steam some green beans to go with it as I like something green with my meals but tonight I was extra lazy. 🙂
