![]() ![]() Add broth and bring it to a simmer and season to taste with more salt and pepper. Place the caramelized onions in the final soup pot, if they’re not already there, and rewarm over medium-high. ![]() You can de-fat the ribs a bit here, too, if there are easily-removed pieces. Discard the short rib bones and pull the meat into large bite-sized chunks. If the broth looks fattier than you prefer, you can use a fat separator to remove it, or carefully spoon it off the surface. Strain the broth, discarding the vegetables. Add sherry and scrape up any onions stuck to the pan, then simmer it until it disappears and you’re swatting strangers who crept in, enticed by the aroma, out of your kitchen.įinish the short ribs: When the short ribs are cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the broth and transfer to a plate to cool slightly. Onions are caramelized when they’re an even, deep golden brown, sweet and tender. Cook onions, stirring every 5 minutes (you might be fine checking in less often in the beginning, until the point when the water in the onions has cooked off) for about 40 to 90 minutes longer. Uncover the pot, raise the heat slightly and stir in salt - I start with 2 to 3 teaspoons of kosher salt. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let them slowly steep for 15 minutes. Add the onions, toss to coat them in butter and cover the pot. Cover with lid, transfer to the oven, and braise until the short ribs are falling off the bone and everyone in your home is falling over from how good it smells, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Add garlic, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf, then pour broth over ribs and vegetables. Return the short ribs and any juices that have collected to the pot. Add the red wine and cook until it has reduced to just a puddle, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes it will get a little darker. Add carrot, onion, leek (if using) and cook on medium-high heat until lightly browned at edges, about 5 to 6 minutes. If there’s a lot of fat in the pot, pour it off until you have 2 tablespoons left. Set aside and repeat with the second half of ribs, then set them aside too. Brown half of short ribs on all sides don’t skimp on the color. In a large (5 to 6-quart) Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Generously season the ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. I hope it’s wonderful.Ħ months ago: Perfect, Forever Cornbread and Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwichesĥ years ago: Union Square Cafe’s Bar NutsĦ years ago: Pull-Apart Rugelach and Tres Leches Cake + A Taco Partyħ years ago: Decadent Hot Chocolate Mix and Gingrebread Biscottiġ1 years ago: Garlic Butter Roasted Mushroomsġ3 years ago: Zuni Cafe’s Roast Chicken + Bread Saladīraise the short ribs: Heat oven to 325☏. So, if this soup sounds good to you, I hope you make it and have it at the ready for whatever the second half of December sends your way, be it a Christmas or New Years dinner, a more casual cocktails-and-cookies thing, or just to spoil yourself. ![]() In the end, everyone stayed long, there wasn’t a scrap of latke or a drop of soup left, and it was one of my favorite drop-ins to date. We had a Hanukah Happy Hour a few weeks ago and along with the usuals - an overflowing tray of latkes and everything good you can put on top of them, endive salad ( this, but as boats for handheld suitability), lots of pickles, Manichewitz Sours, and doughnuts ( I didn’t make them this time, but you still can) - thinking of that you-never-know chili, I thought it might be nice to have something hearty on the stove in case someone was hungrier. It merges two of my favorite cold-weather foods, braised short ribs and french onion soup. The table isn’t set, the toys aren’t put away, you’re still in sloppy clothes, and everyone has more fun.Īnd here’s a new pick for peak December cozy luxury. But if it’s already ready, it means you can have impromptu drop-ins, and they are unquestionably the best kind. Stews and hearty soups are already wired with this energy - they keep well, are easily reheated, and if nobody else eats it, you’re happy to have it for yourself. Despite not planning to stay, we inhaled a bowl in her yard before heading back out again and I have not stopped thinking about it since, hospitality on a you-never-know level. It smelled amazing and it turned out she had chicken chili going in the crockpot. A couple months ago, I was out with friends and we stopped briefly back at a friend’s place (hi Jocelyn!). ![]()
