Frank's Beef Short Ribs

OK, we are going back to the tagine this week with some awesome short ribs. Pretty simple recipe and it turned out to be great. While you have to deal with the gristle on the bone of the ribs, the meat is very tender and some kind of good. I used a tagine spice blend that is subtle and savory and leaves your lips warm with spice after you've enjoyed the dish. As a side, I did a pack of rice, which I dumped in with the stock and veggies. It was awesome as well, and the fat in the rice and juices coats your mouth like a fine steak will do. It is one of the best things ever.

What you'll need:

A pack of beef short ribs
2 heads of green onions chopped
About a 1.5 cup of carrots
8 Oz pack of shitake mushrooms
Tagine spice blend
And a splash of red wine

Frank's Hawt Wangs

That's what we call buffalo wings down south. Here is a great (fall-off-the-bone) recipe using my tagine cooker. Also, you'll note some editing in this episode. I am learning how to work with Microsoft Movie Maker - pretty simple actually.

Honeycrisp Hen

Here is a great little dish I cooked up this weekend. It is super simple to do and combines the great flavor of apples and Cornish hen. And not just any apple - the great Honeycrisp apple. I stuffed the bird with apple slices and cooked it in a tagine cooker over a bed of sliced portobello mushrooms. It was one of the best things ever. Check out the prep video below.

Honeycrisp Hen Ready To Serve

Here is a short clip, peering into the tagine cooker as the Cornish hen is cooked and ready. I cooked the bird about 2 hours and 45 minutes on low heat. I served the hen and mushrooms with mashed potatoes. I mixed in a little of the stock from the pan in with the potatoes. OMG, it was great.
