Short Rib Sides?
 

Am working away on some beef short ribs at the moment. Thoughts on
some sides to accompany them?

Simple prep on the ribs: rubbed with:
INGREDIENTS:
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1/4 cup paprika
* 1 Tbs. fresh-ground pepper
* 1 Tbs. Kosher salt
* 1 Tbs. New Mexico Chili Powder
* 1 Tbs. garlic powder
* 1 Tbs. onion powder
* 1 tsp. cayenne

METHOD:
Mix all ingredients together in Ziploc bag and "dust" ribs.

Braised the ribs in beer and are waiting for them to cook
low-and-slow for this evening's meal.

Several things come to mind. You want something to soak up those
juices. I say noodles, or something mashed. For some reason, the
idea of horseradish mashed potatoes comes to mind. Or good bread to
mop up the juices.

Hmm. Never had horseradish mashed 'taters. Do you use raw or
Moorhouse Prepared?

As far as bread intake: it wouldn't be a hearty meal without some
form of buttered fluff! In tonight's case, Daughter-unit Beta's
requested to make garlic bread.

Hope the wind doesn't shift towards ABQ; t'ain't gonna be pretty.

How about Spaetzle? That is my favourite accompaniment for braised
dishes with lots of nce thick sauce.

I'd forgotten about corn pudding! Thanks.

That's a little too rich (cost-wise) for us at the moment; US$6.99
per bunch.

No one in Clan Ranger enjoy gnocchi. I've tried to make them
numerous times and the thud from the lack of enthusiasm is
physical.

Mac-n-cheese topped with cojita.

Probably can't get corn now but that's good spread with mayo, rolled
in cojita and sprinkled with cayenne. Maybe frozen corn on the cob?

I saw nice looking Calexico asparagus at Whole
Foods in Cupertino this morning at $4.99 per pound.
Not exactly a bargain, but I've seen it as high as
$7.99 per pound about 4 weeks ago.

Yikes! It's 4.99/lb here and that's the most expensive it gets. 2.99/lb is
what I like to pay.

Different kinds of cabbage (red,napa,regular,maybe some bok choy) , carrots,
with a dressing of red or rice wine vinegar,a little lime juice, some oil -
google "asian slaw" for some ideas.

Short ribs are too costly a cut to prepare with those over powering
spices. I'd tone down to bay leave, dill weed, garlic, marjaram,
parsley, a bit of blade mace, and s n' p of course. For sides I'd
include them in the braise, 'shrooms, carrots, lots of small whole
onions, and waxy spuds. perhaps fresh green beans... anyone craves hot
pepper I'd say add it to their own dish later. Actually for myself
I'd use short ribs in a big pot of sweet n' sour cabbage soup, or with
stuffed cabbage. But to use short ribs like it was a cheap cut of
chuck I think is the epitome of wastefullness.

I would go with a simple rice pilaf and some steamed green beans.

The cheapest I've seen recently was $1.49/pound in
late October. I was a a bit beaten up looking but the
flavor was good. I'm seeing $1.55 per pound in an
ad in today's paper at a market that's not especially
close to me.

Not as much as you'd think (thank you Smart & Final!) but you
don't wanna be using the good Hungarian Sweet from Penzey's...
That might make one wince (or howl) slightly.

Trade Winds (S&F's store brand) Paprika [generic] is US$7.99 for a
7 oz. econ-bottle.

Checking the Smart and Final website, it looks like you'll have to
move West young man. They're in Washington, Oregon, California,
Arizona and Idaho.

What are you talking about you mealy-mouthed, whacked-out, pot-
smoking, crank-addicted ol' coot? You'd bury the meat in bay leaf,
dill, marjoram, and mace and not consider it overpowered? Wow. Talk
about "the epitome of wastefullness."

I'm glad you're on the other coast...

Our Albertson's are back to being "Lucky's" but a quick walk-through
showed US$2.99 / lb. I'm glad I did the walk-through because it
cemented my resolve _not_ to shop in that chain. In the produce
section, many leaf-based produce were discolored or damaged, broccoli
