Preparation
Step 1
1- Season the ribs as needed with salt and pepper. Saute the ribs in the oil in a stockpot over high heat for 3-4 minutes, or until browned
2-Add onion and carrot. Cook for 5 minutes until carrots are soft. Stir in celery, garlic, thyme, and bay leaf.
3-Add the Merlot and simmer until the sauce has reduced by half, about 15 -20 minutes.
4- Add 2 cups of stock and the tomato puree. Return ribs to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce to low and cover with a tightly fitting lid. Cook until ribs are tender, about 2 hours
5- Remove ribs from the pan. Skim off the fat from the top of the cooking liquid and strain the remaining liquid. Bring to a boil and cook 10 minutes or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon (nappe). Adjust the seasonings to taste.
