Thursday night braised ribs with wine

It's Thursday and we are almost at the weekend!  Why not spoil your self with a yummy meal and celebrate that the weekend is near??


Ingredients:
1 bottle of wine= winning!
2 tbsp butter
8 short ribs
2 onions chopped
2 celery sticks chopped
2 carrots chopped
1 head of garlic
4 bay leaves
4 sprigs of rosemary
salt
pepper

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325

Heat a oven friendly pot  and melt 1tbsp of butter.  Brown each side of the ribs for about 2minutes and season each side with salt and pepper.  This is where you will get all of the flavour! Remove the ribs and place on a rack.  Drain the fat out of the pot if there is a lot.  Throw in the veggies (add more butter if needed) and brown for 5-10 minutes.  Put the ribs back in.  Pour the wine over the ribs.  Add bay leaves and rosemary.   Put in oven for 2-3 hours.  You could do this same recipe and slow cook.

Tips: What wine?  A cab sauv would be awesome!  We did the Hester Creek Character (Merlot, Syrah, Malbec and Petit Verdot.  Yummy.

Makes getting through thursday easy peesy!
