RED WINE-BRAISED SHORT RIB STEW WITH POTATOES, CARROTS, AND MUSHROOMS
If you haven't noticed by now, we love braising. This stew wraps itself around your soul and squeezes ever so gently. And while it truly embodies the concept of a one-pot meal, we do like to roast the vegetables separately so they retain their individual flavor, creating even greater depth of flavor.

Steps:
- Prepare the short ribs: In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the ghee or olive oil.
- Pat the short ribs dry with paper towels and season with the sea salt. Gently place the short ribs in the hot ghee or oil and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side, turning as needed and searing in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pot. Transfer to a plate.
- To the same pot, add the onion, carrot and celery and cook until the veggies begin to brown, stirring as needed to avoid burning, about 5 minutes.
- Add the wine and deglaze the pot, scraping the browned bits loose from the bottom of the pot. Add the thyme and garlic and bring to a simmer. Let the wine reduce by half, about 10 minutes, then remove the pot form the heat.
- Place the browned short ribs into the wine reduction along with the bone broth and let marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can prepare this dish in advance by letting the ribs marinate for a full 24 hours-well worth it in our opinion.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Remove the pot from the refrigerator, cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and transfer to the oven to braise for 2 1/2 hours.
- At the 2 hour mark, when 30 minutes remain on the cooking time for the short ribs, prepare the vegetables: On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms with the ghee or oil and sea salt. Spread out in and even layer and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are knife-tender.
- Remove the pot with the short ribs from the oven, uncover, and transfer the meat to a plate. Strain the braising liquid into a deep serving dish; discard the solids from the liquid. Add the roasted veggies to the serving dish and stir to distribute evenly. Using your hands or a fork, break the short ribs into chunks and stir in as well. Garnish with a little chopped fresh parsley and serve family style.
- The stew or any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 6 months.

BRAISED FENNEL WITH CARROTS AND POTATOES
The slightly aniseed taste of fennel is a great match with carrots and potatoes, so I combined them all in this original recipe. It's a real treat served as a side dish with roast pork and gravy!

- Add chicken stock, wine and fennel leaves and heat until simmering.
- Lower heat, cover and simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, or until carrots and potatoes are soft.
- Remove cover, increase heat and allow to boil briskly for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potato is broken down into an almost'mashed' consistency, but still with a little texture- the remaining liquid should be well thickened with the potato.

Steps:
- In a large saute pan, heat 4 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and carrots. Cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the onion and cook another 5 minutes. Add the garlic and the remaining oil. Cook for 2 more minutes.
- Add the sage, rosemary, and thyme. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the wine and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered for about 8 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking about 4 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the liquid has thickened enough to coat the vegetables.

BRAISED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CARROTS AND POTATOES RECIPE

Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Place onion in a lightly greased 6-quart slow cooker; top with potatoes and carrots. Combine 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, broth, and next 3 ingredients. Pour broth mixture over vegetables. Combine paprika, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper; rub evenly over chicken thighs, and arrange on top of vegetables. Cover and cook on LOW 8 hours or until chicken and vegetables are tender. Garnish, if desired.
Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or New Potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well and won't disintegrate during braising.
- Cut the potatoes and carrots uniformly: This ensures even cooking. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and the carrots into 1-inch thick slices or chunks.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is a key flavor component in this dish, so use a flavorful broth like chicken or vegetable broth. Avoid using water as it will result in a bland dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: Make sure there is enough space in the pot for the vegetables to cook evenly. If the pot is too crowded, the vegetables will steam instead of braise.
- Season generously: Don't be afraid to season the vegetables well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to create a flavorful dish.
- Braise low and slow: Braising is a gentle cooking method that allows the vegetables to cook slowly and evenly. Cook the vegetables over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
Conclusion:
Braised Potatoes and Carrots is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The potatoes and carrots are tender and flavorful, and the braising liquid adds a rich and savory flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
