I absolutely love this dish! It’s great for when you have company, it’s relatively easy and has a nice kick! You can always get bone-in short ribs, and save the bones to make broth with. If you are making it for company, double the recipe. Also, if you are getting bone-in ribs, make sure you add an extra pound or two to account for the bones. Of course, for us, you can never make too much of this dish.
