Comfort Food FTW this cold Sunday afternoon. I think that short ribs are perhaps my favorite cut of beef — provided you had enough time to cook it low and slow, which I did for nearly 2 and a half hours. I’ve made a number of short rib recipes before (search the site, if you are interested) but this “Provençale” version is a new one for me, with Niçois olives. I’ve served it here with Crème fraîche mashed potatoes (no recipe), but would also go well with other potato styles or even butter noodles, dumplings or Spätzle, though that wouldn’t be all that traditional.
I’ve been feeling sick with a cold the last few days, so comfort food was on deck — with a bit of spice to clear the sinuses. This Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Soup was the perfect thing. Extremely flavorful, hearty and I added a bit of extra red pepper flakes so definitely spicy. Served with baguette with lots of cheddar cheese. Perfect thing for an “under the weather” January day.
OK, it’s almost New Year’s Eve and someone invites you to a party. You need a quick and easy thing to bring along. Voila! This dip! Bacon. Cheese and more cheese. A little bit of salsa. And did I mention the bacon. Dip in crackers or tortilla chips. Serve Warm if you can, but also works at room temperature. Enjoy!
