3 tbsp (44.4 ml) peanut oil

- 2 litres (about 8.5 cups) chicken stock
-

-
pickled onions, for garnishing
- 1 full cup of picked basil leaves
- 1 full cup of picked parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup of picked mint leaves

100ml (about 3.4 fl oz) of olive oil
Salsa verde
Directions
Prepare the ribs by cutting between the bones and scoring the back membrane. Season well with salt and your choice of rub.
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
- In a large Dutch oven over high heat, sear the ribs on all sides until they develop a good colour. Then, remove and set aside.
- With the ribs removed, add the shallots and carrots to the pan. Sauté for 4-5 minutes to develop some colour. Then, add the garlic, herbs, and wine. Cook the wine for 4 minutes, then add the tinned tomatoes and mix well.
- Return the beef ribs to the pot and cover with chicken stock. Place a cartouche (a round of parchment paper) over the ribs, then cover with the lid and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3 hours.
- After cooking, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest in the cooking liquid for 20-30 minutes. Then, remove and place on a lined oven tray, ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, reheat the cooked ribs in a 190°C (375°F) oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove and garnish with parsley and pickled onions.
Salsa verde
Place all ingredients in a jar or a bench top blender.
- Blend with a stick blender or in the benchtop blender until smooth.
- Check the seasoning and adjust the salt as needed.
- Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
