Servings: 12 people
Cost: 35
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 5-7 shoulder cut country style ribs
- 2 teaspoons celtic or kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons fresh cracked pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs seasoning
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 onion diced
- 2 carrots peeled and sliced thin
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika paste
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 sprigs fresh sage minced
- 16 oz chicken stock
Instructions
- Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.
- Season generously on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian herbs, and cumin.
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the ribs and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the ribs from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the Hungarian paprika paste, ensuring the vegetables are well-coated.
- Add the diced tomatoes and stir to combine.
- Pour in the chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
- Add the fresh thyme and minced sage to the pot.
- Place the seared ribs back into the pot, ensuring they are partially submerged in the braising liquid.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C).
- Braise for 2-3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
- Remove the thyme sprigs before serving.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes, polenta, or crusty bread to soak up the rich sauce.
