Soy Ginger Glazed Beef Short Ribs, With Chic Peas

Awesome dish!

Recipe for two:

1 red onion, sliced
1 parsnip, chopped
3 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 beef short ribs
1 can Eden garbanzo beans
handful cherry tomatoes, cut in half

For the marinade:

Juice and zest of one orange
2" piece of ginger, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 c soy sauce
1 t sesame oil
pinch chile flakes
1 T honey

Mash the garlic and ginger in a mortar and pestle, or with a spoon if you don't have one.  Place all the ingredients in a dish along with the ribs, cover, refrigerate and marinade for 8 hours.

When ready place the ribs in a roasting pan with a couple of tablespoons of the marinade, and cook in the oven for 30 minutes at 400* - then reduce the heat to 350* and cook for another 40 minutes or until cooked and falling off the bone.  Please not if the marinade begins to get dark, add a little water or stock.

For the beans:

Caramelize the onions, parsnip and garlic in a saute pan with some olive oil and a tablespoon of butter.  When done add the beans and slightly mash them with a fork.  Cook on low until warm and then add the tomatoes.

Serve onto warm plates.

Bon Appetit!  Chef Hobbes
