ORIGINAL: caeleric tonight, braised short ribs and fettuccine. prosciutto crisped in evoo, then removed. s&p on ribs then dredged in flour, then browned in the prosciutto fat/evoo rendering. add a purée of carrot, onion, garlic, parsley, canned tomato, and tomato purée (my maiden voyage of a cuisinart pro classic that ROCKED). then add 2.5 C beef stock and .75 C red wine (06 Zin). cook for 3 hours, then remove ribs and bones, discard bones and add shredded beef back to braising liquid. cook pasta al dente, reserving 1 C pasta liquid to keep everything moist. add pasta to everything and serve with a garnish of parsley and bittersweet chocolate shavings. paired with a 2006 two hands cab sauv "some days are diamonds." goooooooood night! Love braised short ribs with pasta (I typically go with pappardelle), never thought of the chocolate that's a cool idea. Sounds like a Mole fusion with the Italian meal. I like that, and am very fond of Mole' in general. Much Fusion seems strange at first, that is until you actually smell and taste it. I noticed that fusion was big in Orlando.
