Short Ribs in Red Wine and Port
Braised Ribs |
This week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe was for these succulent short ribs.
We really loved them! They aren’t complicated, but take a lot of time to make. We started them last night, chilled them, then finished them today. I think the chilling step is important not only because it allows the flavors to blend, but also because it made it so easy to skim the fat off.
Tangerine Gremolata |
We had my brother & sister-in-law to dinner & we all thought the ribs were great and agreed that the Tangerine Gremolata just took this dish right over the top! A great dish to make over the weekend, and wonderful for company because you do so much ahead of time. The wine & port reduction sauce was perfect!
One of my favorite fellow-bloggers posted the recipe here.
Sauteed Vegetables, Wine, Port, Tomato Paste, and Herbs |
Butter and Parsley Potatoes
Fill a large pot of water 1/2 way with water.
Add 3 – 4 small red potatoes per person and 1 teaspoon of Salt.
Boil for about 20 minutes until potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork.
Drain potatoes and return to pan.
Toss with 1/4 cup butter and 3 Tablespoons minced parsley.
Roasted Asparagus
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Snap ends off 2 bunches fresh Asparagus
Place in an 8 x8 inch baking pan.
Drizzle with Olive Oil.
Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper.
Roast in oven for 20 minutes, turning over half way through.
Another great recipe from Around my French Table! It was the featured recipe in October. It’s wonderful and so easy to make that we’ve had it several times.
Bon Appetit!

Susan, you did an incredible job with this challenge. The short ribs and accompaniments are gorgeous and the apple cake was an added bonus. Any piece of my heart not stolen by your food was taken by Mercedes. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary

You had me at that opening shot of your plate – amazing ! Your photos are stunning, as usual, and I chuckled when I saw your cat in the last one. Very cute. Nana and I really enjoyed this one – the whole family loved the ribs. I will doing much more braising in the future. And revisiting the Apple Cake- I also had forgotten about that one but it sounds perfect for your meal.

That certainly is an amazing meal! Your pictures are great & the side dishes are perfect for this. The red potatoes are a good alternative for mashed potatoes. We’ve had a lot of mashed potatoes lately & I’m making them again tonight.
I love that cake – I’ve made it twice so far 🙂
