Lately, I've been hearing a lot about short ribs. Julie Powell talked about them in her book Cleaving. The chefs on Top Chef are always whipping up recipes with them. The Food Network chefs have been using them a lot lately, too. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never had them. Which only meant one thing...I had to give them a try! So I scoured my pile of collected recipes, looking for a short ribs recipe. Oddly enough, I found one....on the back of another recipe for Parmesan Pork Roast (that I'm dying to try so stay tuned!) that I had set aside! BINGO! And, this recipe is made in the slow cooker -- DOUBLE BINGO!
