On freezing cold winter nights, this is the perfect meal.
It is hearty, warms up the soul, and is a total comfort food!
I love the blend of all the veggies, herbs, and of course ribs.
This simmers for a few hours so it fills the whole house up with a wonderful aroma as well!
To make this wonderful Short Ribs dish, you begin by browning the ribs all over. I used my Dutch Oven because that was the largest pot I had and it worked really well.
After that, simply pull them out and place in the veggies and liquid. Be sure to scrape the bottom as it simmers, getting all the bits and deliciousness from the pan.
Then place the ribs back in and let them fall into the liquid bath. Be sure to add your fresh herbs too, it will really increase the flavor.
Put the lid on and let it simmer and cook for 2 hours. Remove lid and the meat will be getting very tender. Let them go for 45 more mintues and then you will have a wonderful dish!
Put it all together and you have this amazing dish!
