Hungarian Short Ribs paired with Draceana Cab Franc #EattheWorld #WinePW

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.

Hungarian Short Ribs with Wine

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..........


Wine

I am showcasing a wine from our very own Lori of Dracaena Wines.  You will find her blog, Exploring the Wine Glass, on a link from the home page.  I have had the pleasure of meeting Lori and visiting her vineyards in Paso Robles, California a few years ago.  I fell in love with her wines and quickly joined her wine club.  

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 Logo

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.

Hungarian Short Ribs

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.

  11. I have been diving into some of my Mother's Hungarian recipes lately. I don't ever remember her making short ribs. Why? They sound so delicious! The wine from Dracaena sounds like a perfect pairing. I need to get my hands on a bottle of their wine!

  12. Wendy,
    I loved your post and that dish looks divine. I traveled to Hungary in 1990, wow 30 years now. It was a very exciting Father-Daughter trip and one I cherish. Cheers to you and both of the groups. Susannah
