Oh, Honey, Honey! Mustard-Glazed Short Ribs

Continuing on my celebration of my Love this Valentines' weekend, I made a honey-filled dinner. This - honey-mustard glazed short ribs - was our main dish. Falling off the bone delicious!


short ribs
smashed garlic
olive oil
beer
root beer
honey
mustard
salt
pepper

I browned smashed garlic in a splash of olive oil then quickly seared the ribs to seal in the juices. I poured in the beer (I used Snowshoe Brewing Company's Snowweizen because that's what I had in my fridge), brought it to a boil, covered it, and reduced to a simmer. Let that simmer for 2 hours. The meat will be so tender that it's almost falling off the bone.

Make the sauce while the ribs are cooking. Whisk together the honey, mustard, and rootbeer in a medium saucepan. Simmer till it begins to thicken, then season with salt and pepper.

Once the ribs are ready, rub the sauce over them and place them in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and cook for an additional 10 minutes to let the ribs brown.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Ki Ngombo = Okra

In honor of Mardi Gras, I searched for traditional recipes for gumbo...only to discover that there is no canonical recipe for gumbo. It seems there are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks!  The only two constants in a gumbo: variety and okra. The term 'gumbo' likely comes from an African dialect whose word for okra is ki ngombo .  Gumbos can have meat, seafood, just about anything.  In Mark Huntsman's "The History of Gumbo" he refers to written mentions of using muskrat and owl in gumbo recipes.  I embraced the unlimited potential of ingredients and opted for a combination of fish, chicken, pancetta, oysters, mussels, octopus, shrimp, and squid...and lots of okra!
