| Tomato Sauce 500g | 6 cups |
| Beef short ribs | 8 to 10 (about 5 lbs.) |
| Chopped toasted pine nuts | ½ cup |
| Cinnamon | ½ tsp. |
| Dry red wine | 1 cup |
| Finely chopped carrot | ¾ cup |
| Finely chopped celery | ¾ cup |
| Finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley | 2 tbs. |
| Finely chopped garlic | 2 tbs. |
| Finely chopped onion | ¾ cup |
| Ground cloves | 1/8 tsp. |
| Kosher salt | To taste |
| Lemon zest | 1 tsp. |
| Nutmeg | ½ tsp. |
| Olive oil | 1/4 cup |
Preparation
Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F.
Generously season the ribs with salt and pepper. In a 7- to 8-quart Dutch oven or heavy-duty pot, heat 2 Tbs. olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear half of the ribs, without crowding them, on the three meaty sides, about 2 minutes per side, then transfer to a glass plate or large bowl. Add 2 Tbs. oil to the pan, and repeat with the remaining ribs.
Add the onion, celery, and carrots and sauté until the vegetables are just tender, stirring constantly about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Cook for another 15 seconds, until the spices are aromatic, add the wine to deglaze, then add Pomì tomato Sauce and bring to a boil. Return the ribs to the pot, place a crinkled piece of parchment on the surface of the ribs and sauce, cover with the lid, and place in the oven for 4 to 4½ hours, until the ribs are tender and just beginning to fall off the bone. Remove the ribs and keep warm. Remove any excess oil from the surface. Bring the sauce to a boil.
In a small bowl, combine the pine nuts, parsley, and lemon zest.
Serve the ribs with some of the sauce, and top with some of the pine nut mixture.
