These amazing shortribs were made in the Instant Pot. They were fall off the bone tender and perfectly seasoned. Served over egg noodles and paired with a great bottle of Dracaena Cab Franc, it was a perfect comfort meal to help us through this pandemic.
Please join me as I combine Eating the World with my Wine Pairing Weekend................
I am hosting Wine Pairing Weekend this month. In honor of #CabFrancDay that we celebrated on December 4th, I asked the others to join me in looking at this grape that was used primarily as a blending grape for Bordeaux until being bottled as a lone varietal in Chinon, France.
Now this grape is used to make wine all over the world. Let's see what the others are sharing with us today..........

When I got my last shipment, I knew I wanted to pair this wine with Hungarian Short Ribs that I was planning to make for our Eat the World challenge this month.
Eat the World happens once a month in a group led by Evelyne of CulturEatz. Each month Evelyne challenges us to explore the cuisines of a new country. This month she asked us to visit Hungary.
That theme made me very hungary.....get it....Hungary, hungary....oh, never mind, sigh......
I did a recipe search and found a recipe for Hungarian Short Ribs that I am sharing with you today. I adapted the recipe to work for me. I made mine in the Instant Pot and I used diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce.
I don't know how authentic they are but, let me tell you, they certainly are delicious. I was glad I resisted the urge to break into that bottle of Cab Franc before these were scheduled for dinner. It was a great pairing.
Check out all the wonderful Hungarian dishes prepared by fellow Eat the World members and share with #eattheworld. Click here to find out how to join and have fun exploring a country a month in the kitchen with us!
