Recipe: Braised Short Ribs with Onions, Chilies, and Spicy Pea Purée

Even though the calendar is now squarely in spring, the occasional, stray cool night requires a dish with some of winter's heft. Enter Cedric Vongerichten's of-the-moment recipe for short ribs: the hardy beef is underpinned by a vibrant pea purée that's laced with two types of chilies. Get the recipe here.
Market Haul: November 14, 2011

The seasonal parade of root vegetables begins with a CSA box filled with hardy, early winter offerings. Celery root, leeks, and potatoes are calling out to be made into soup, while the tiny leaves of red kale would be delicious rubbed with olive oil and served raw in a lemony salad.
The Haul: Leeks, sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, celery root, daikon radish, baby red kale, chioggia beets
The Menu Ideas:
Truffled Potato–Leek Pierogi with Chive Crème Fraîche [JBF]
Black truffles bring these easy-to-make dumplings into special-occasion territory. For an everyday version, substitute minced cremini mushrooms sautéed in butter.
Market Haul: October 31

This week’s haul is a cornucopia of greens: broccoli, broccoli rabe, escarole, collards. To avoid getting overwhelmed, it’s never a bad idea to wash and blanch your greens all at once so they’re ready to go throughout the week. For those of you haven’t tried Japanese salad turnips, they’re sweet and juicy and absolutely delicious eaten raw in salads or quickly braised, as in the recipe below. Eat their tops as you would any greens—we’re partial to a simple sauté with olive oil and garlic.
The Haul: Sweet potatoes, broccoli rabe, escarole, salad turnips, collard greens, broccoli, and Mutsu and Cameo apples

Recipe: Beef Short Ribs in Moscatel
Here's a weekend recipe for our snowed-slammed East Coast readers: fall-off-the-bone braised short ribs, cooked slow in Moscatel, a sweet, full-bodied wine from Spain. A host of spices gives the rich braising liquid some extra oomph; jalapeño chile brings bite. Aside from the critical step of browning the meat, this dish practically makes itself, which is just what you need after three days of shoveling.
