Beef Short Ribs Braised with Wild Mushrooms and Tomato – I Sure Hope Youre Having Bad Weather
This video recipe for beef short ribs braised with porcini mushrooms and tomato is so comforting, so satisfying, and so deeply warming that when I make it, Im actually disappointed if its not storming outside.I mean, why waste a dish like this on a nice day? I havent quite mastered controlling the weather yet (although, from what I hear, many of my old habits have raised the globes temperature a little), but this time of year you can usually count on Mother Nature blessing you with some cold, wet weather in which to enjoy these ribs.
The short ribs are slowly braised with easy-to-find dried porcini mushrooms (for real, ask someone at the fancy grocery store and theyll find them for you!) until they turn into a triumph of fork-tender goodness.
I love these short ribs over mashed potatoes, but the rich tomato and mushroom gravy is fantastic over soft polenta as well. I really hope you give this cool weather wonder a try. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried porcini mushroom
1/2 cup water
2 1/2 to 3 pounds beef short ribs (about 8-10 pieces)
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 tsp salt
pinch of cayenne
1 bay leaf
1 tsp dried rosemary

The CLT Sandwich Cheese Lettuce Tomato
Recipe? You dont need no stinkin recipe. Two slices good whole wheat sandwich bread, smeared with mayo. Slices of ripe, juicy fresh-off-the-vine tomato sprinkled with a little salt and pepper. Crisp lettuce. All topped with a slice of Guernsey Girl cheese fried in a lightly-oiled pan over medium heat until brown and bubbly on both sides. Oh man, I want another and my cheese is all gone. *sniff* These things were exquisite; no other word.
Guernsey Girl is one of the cheeses we picked up at Upper Canada Cheese when we were there. Its a halloumi-inspired cheese, meaning it holds together and gets brown, buttery and delicately squeaky when fried in a pan as above instead of becoming a molten mess. If you cant get Guernsey Girl, you could use halloumi cheese. Ill be scouting around to see what I can get here, for as long as the tomatoes hold out.
Last year at this time it was Tomato & Garlic Soup with Vegetables.

Miso Tomato Soup
There are still a very few tomatoes around, and they are best for cooking at this point. Mind you, this works perfectly well with tinned tomatoes too. Very quick, easy and low calorie; we just wont talk about the salt content. Also good with a few greens thrown in if you have them: a couple of baby bok choy, or a handful of chopped cabbage for that matter.
Mr. Ferdzy came up with this soup a few years ago, although given the simplicity of the ingredients he was treading on a pretty well known path. I made it this week as it was good for stretching out a meal of mixed sauté of leftovers. We were cleaning out the fridge, as we will be away for about a week visiting relatives... see you next week.
4 to 6 servings
20 minutes prep time
2 medium shallots
1 clove of garlic
1 teaspoon mild vegetable oil
3 large tomatoes (4 cups chopped)
2 cups water
1/4 cup light (shiro) miso
Put a large pot of water on to boil.
Peel and chop the shallots. Peel and mince the garlic. Heat the oil in a small skillet, and cook the shallots until lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for a minute longer, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and let cool.
When the water boils, blanch the tomatoes for 1 minutes. Cool them under cold water, and peel them. Chop them finely.
Put the tomatoes into a pot with 1 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the miso in the remaining 1/2 cup water until smooth.
Add the shallots and garlic to the tomatoes. Add the miso, and bring back up to a simmer. Serve at once.
