Caribbean Short Rib Stew

Ingredients
Serves 4

3 tablespoons Jerk Mix
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 pounds Short Ribs
1/2 cup olive oil
2 medium Spanish onions, finely chopped
1 can (26 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, drained
1 bay leaf
1 piece fresh ginger (3 inches), peeled and chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 Scotch bonnet chiles, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chile powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
4 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium canned chicken stock
1/2 cup brewed coffee
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup honey

Directions
Combine jerk mix and canola oil in a large bowl. Add short rib and
toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours.

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch-oven over high heat. Working in
batches, add short ribs ribs and onions and cook, stirring
occasionally, until browned, 15 minutes.

Add tomatoes, bay leaf, ginger, and garlic; bring to simmer. Stir in
chiles, salt, chili powder, cumin, coriander, chicken stock, coffee,
and Worcestershire sauce. Cover, reduce heat, and continue simmering 2
hours.

Add honey and continue simmering, uncovered, until Short Ribs are
tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf, and serve.

This sounds very good. I'd just like to say, though, be careful of the
jerk mix, as well as the chile powder. Some of them have a lot of salt,
so you should taste, and add them first, before you add the salt as well
as the Worcestershire sauce.

Good suggestion. I must admit that I used less of the jerk mix, and
used no salt in mine. I did use the Worcestershire sauce in the
proportion called for in the recipe. I tend to use more herbs and
spices to flavor food, than salt.

I think she said she had seen it on one of the morning television news
shows. Something about the "Deen Brothers' Summer Recipes." She also
mentioned that the "original" recipe used ox-tails, rather than short
ribs. I don't like ox-tails, nor does the neighbor. So we used the
short-ribs instead.

I looked once again at this recipe, my neighbor had sent over. The
original used Ox-tails rather than Short Ribs.

There was another recipe that came which was a companion recipe.
Apparently both the Caribbean Stew, and the Mango Coconut Rice below,
are from Deen Brothers' Summer Recipes.

Mango Coconut Rice

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1½ cups long grain rice
1 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
2/3 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 large ripe mango, peeled and cubed

Directions:
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the rice
and stir to coat with the oil. Add the coconut milk, water, and salt;
bring to a boil. Stir in the mango. Cover, reduce heat to low, and
simmer about 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.

Oh, that's good to know. We love oxtails and where I shop I find
oxtails more often than short ribs. -aem
