Cooked beef short-ribs yesterday in the slow-cooker, it was my first attempt at ribs and I made it through with some e-mailed pointers from
eclectician.
- Browned them in a pan, deglazed with pumpkin-beer and wine, threw them in the slow-cooker with onions/leeks/carrots/parsnips/dried apricots/sage/smoked paprika, let them go on low all day.
They came out pretty good, and both
prosicated and I enjoyed them, but I wasn't satisfied with it. The texture was good, but I don't think I was focused enough with the additions I made.
Obviously more experimentation is in order.
I miss cooking, I anticipate a lot of it in my near future now that we have some semblance of a kitchen again.

Date: 2008-08-12 04:12 pm (UTC)The basic concept is to brown them in a pan, on a grill, or under the broiler to add some color. Deglaze the pan with something yummy, then throw the ribs and pan-juices in your slow-cooker with aromatics, top up the liquid with stock, beer, whatever to just barely cover everything. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
I'll be sure to let you know when I make another attempt.
