I'm jumping on this sandbag train. Dude, brussel sprouts have some of the best flavor compounds when cooked, turning into a pure savory melange of wonder.
I halve the fresh ones, toss them with olive oil, salt and pepper and bake them at 425 degrees until they get crispy on the outside. Then I brown some butter with some fresh thyme and a chopped shallot and drizzle that on top. Sometimes I add some bacon.
Godly.
I think I will be making this tomorrow. I am gonna get all the ingredients tomorrow! I don't think I really have a big dutch oven but I have a macaroni pot I can use.
1. I think Brussels sprouts give it a funny taste. I like them but I don't think they are appropriate here.
2. I think you should ask your butcher to trim the fat off the short ribs. Unfortunately I had to use bone-in since my super market did not have them...
3. So I recommend cooking longer. The meat falls off the bone and the fat renders.
If you like chewing the fat, go ahead, but that's so gross to me.
