Short Rib Ragu

   
 
Author:
Serves: 8
 
Ingredients:
  • 2 to 2-1/2 pounds beef short ribs with bone-in
  • Kosher or sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 medium onion, diced small
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 celery stock, diced small (optional)
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • ½ cup red wine
  • 28 ounce box or can of unsalted strained tomatoes (or tomato sauce)
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons of fresh thyme (or 1-1/4 teaspoons dried thyme)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Serve with 1 pound (16 ounces) of pasta
  • Top with Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
  1. Heat a large skillet on medium high heat. Dry short ribs and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown short ribs on all four sides (about several minutes per side). Adjust the flame lower if there is a lot of splatter. Move the short ribs to the slow cooker.
  2. Drain most of the fat. Put the onion, carrot and celery (optional) in the skillet and lightly salt and pepper. Brown vegetables on a medium flame, stirring occasionally (about 10 minutes). Add the garlic and sauté for about one minute more.
  3. Pour in the red wine, and scrap any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Let the wine gently boil and reduce until most visible liquid has evaporated. Stir occasionally. Add in the tomato sauce, herbs, sugar, and just a little more salt and pepper. Stir to combine the sauce. Pour the sauce over the short ribs in the slow cooker.
  4. Start the slow cooker and cook on low for 9 hours or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. Alternatively, park the slow cooker insert in the refrigerator until ready to start the slow cooker. If you start the slow cooker with cold ingredients, increase the cooking time to 10 hours total.
  5. Skim any liquid fat off the top. Once the meat is very tender, pull the meat off of the bones. Remove any fat and connective tissue that you can. Shred the meat with two forks or your fingers. Remove the bay leaf. Stir to coat all the meat with sauce. Taste for seasoning, and add more salt, pepper, herbs, or sugar if needed. Put the meat sauce in a pot or skillet. Let cool somewhat and refrigerate overnight.
  6. Reheat the sauce the next day on the stove at a simmer for about 30 minutes. Make sure the sauce is warm and serve over pasta. Top with Parmesan cheese if desired.

    Crunchy Coleslaw


    Most people think of coleslaw as an all-American dish, but did you know that it actually has Dutch roots? Coleslaw comes from the Dutch word “koolsla,” meaning “cabbage salad.” The recipe was brought to the U.S. by Dutch immigrants who settled in New York during the late 17th and 18th centuries.1
    Coleslaw is still a favorite today because of its unique flavor and texture. However, since it’s usually enjoyed raw, I recommend using only organically grown vegetables that are not sprayed with pesticides and other toxic chemicals. This Fresh and Crunchy Coleslaw Recipe uses only wholesome ingredients that blend so well together, and is sure to please everyone — even picky eaters.



    • 4 cups organic white cabbage, shredded
    • 1 cup organic carrots, shredded
    • 3 ribs of organic celery, shredded
    • 3 green onions, finely chopped
    • 1/3 cup homemade mayonnaise
    •  
    • 1/4 cup  apple cider vinegar
    • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
    • 1/8 tsp. celery seed
    • 1/2 tsp.  salt

    1. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, celery seed and salt. Whisk together until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
    2. Add the shredded cabbage, celery, carrots and finely chopped green onion. Mix very well to coat evenly.
    3. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.
