Directions:RIBS Preheat oven to 325ºF. Melt 1 T. butter in heavy large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle ribs with Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper. Add to pot in single layer and saute until brown on all sides, about 10 min. Transfer ribs to large bowl. Add 1 T. butter to pot. Add onions; saute until brown, about 6 min. Add parsnips; saute until beginning to color, about 6 min. Mix in garlic, then rosemary. Add wine and broth; bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Return ribs and juices to pot, arranging in single layer. Bring to simmer; cover and place in oven. Braise until ribs are very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Using tongs, transfer ribs to clean bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Strain the pan juices from the vegetables; de-grease the juices and discard the vegetables. Strain juice again through a fine sieve and return to pot. Boil juices until just beginning to thicken, about 10 min. Mix 1 T. butter with 1 T. flour in small bowl to smooth paste. Whisk into juices in pot; simmer until thickened enough to coat spoon, about 5 min. longer. Season gravy with salt & pepper. Return ribs to pot; spoon gravy over. Can be made 2 days ahead. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Rewarm over low heat before serving.
POTATOES Cook parsnips in large pot of boiling water for 7 min. then add potatoes and cook until all is tender, about 15 more min. Meanwhile, bring milk butter and rosemary to simmer in small saucepan. Drain potato mixture and return to pot. Stir briefly over medium heat to evaporate excess moisture. Add milk mixture and mash well. You may want to use a ricer for a smoother consistency. Season with salt & pepper.
Transfer short ribs and gravy to large shallow serving dish. Serve ribs with mashed potatoes. |
