SHORT RIBS RECIPES OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Boil 2 cups of water in a small pot. Add the porcini mushrooms in the boiled water to soften. When they become soft, take mushrooms out of the water. Keep the water for the braising later. Roughly chop mushrooms.
• Select SEAR/SAUTÉ Mode. Press the Temp/Time button to set the time to 30 minutes with the knob. Press START .
• Season short ribs with salt and black pepper. When the cooking vessel is hot, place ribs to the bottom and sear both sides until browned (roughly 5 minutes each side).
• Take the ribs out and put onto a plate. Discard the grease remaining in the vessel. Be careful, the vessel will be hot. Use silicone gloves to touch the handles.
• Add olive oil to the vessel. Sauté onions and garlic until soft for three minutes.
• Stir in the cremini mushrooms and porcini mushrooms. Sauté until the liquid released from the mushrooms have evaporated.
• Add the left-over liquid from the soaked mushrooms, thyme and beef stock to the pot and place ribs on top. Make sure the ribs are mostly covered with liquid. Press CANCEL .
• Close the lid. Select BRAISE MODE. Press the Temp/Time button and set the time to 2 hours. Press START.
• After 45 minutes skim any fat from the surface and stir in the barley. Ensure that the barley is fully submerged in the liquid (to help you can place ribs on top to keep the barley submerged).
• Wait for 30 minutes and check the ribs, make sure they are very tender and carefully take them out and place onto a plate. Try to leave all the barley in the vessel.
• Add the balsamic vinegar and parmesan to the pot, and mix in with the barley until creamy. Add in additional hot broth if needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.
• Mix in parsley and lemon zest. Press CANCEL .
• Serve the barley mixture on a plate and place the ribs on top. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 100ºC/212ºF/gas ¼.
  2. Place the ribs in a snug-fitting roasting tray, season with sea salt and black pepper, drizzle with oil, then rub all over. Cover tightly with a double layer of tin foil, then cook for 7 to 8 hours, or until tender.
  3. When the time’s up, transfer the ribs to a baking tray. Skim away the fat from the roasting tray and reserve in an airtight jar (use it for delicious roast potatoes another day).
  4. Place the roasting tray over a high heat on the hob and bring the juices to the boil. Simmer for around 2 minutes, then add the remaining sauce ingredients. Bring back to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for a further 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Brush most of the sauce onto the ribs so they’re nicely coated all over, then return the ribs to the oven for 20 to 40 minutes, or until sticky and caramelised to your liking.
  6. Meanwhile, place a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the caraway seeds and toast for around 1 minute, or until smelling fantastic. Tip into a large bowl.
  7. Finely chop the dill and pickled onions, then add to the bowl with the mayo, yoghurt, mustard, white wine vinegar and a splash of the pickled onion vinegar. Whisk well to combine.
  8. Remove the beetroot leaves and set aside. Scrub and trim the beetroot and carrots, then pass all the vegetables and the beetroot leaves through the fine slicing attachment in a food processor. Add to the dressing, toss and scrunch everything together, then season to taste.
  9. Transfer the ribs to a chopping board, then carve up and serve with the winter slaw, remaining BBQ sauce and creamy mashed potato, if you like.
