SHORT RIBS WITH COFFEE AND CHILES
There is hardly a combination of flavors that does not work with short ribs, as long as you braise them. In Alsace, they use leftover coffee as a braising liquid. When you combine that with a couple of types of chiles and a little red wine, the result is an unfamiliar yet old-fashioned dish that seems to please everyone.

Steps:
- In a heavy pot that can later be covered, drizzle oil. Over medium heat, brown ribs well, adjusting heat as necessary to get a dark crust. Take your time, and season with salt and pepper as they cook. Remove them to a plate and turn heat to low.
- In same pot, cook onions, garlic and chilies, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 15 minutes. Add wine and coffee and reduce over high heat by about half. Return ribs to pot, cover, and cook over low heat (or in a 300-degree oven) for 2 to 3 hours. Cook until very tender - beyond when meat falls off the bone - turning every hour or so. Taste and adjust seasoning and serve.
