What do we order with this?
The Mahi Sauvignon Blancis definately our pick for enjoying with these crisp clams. It's on the menu and perfect for a hot summer afternoon!
The most complicated part of this recipe is having the right-sized casserole or stove-friendly roasting pan to fit the short rib.
Once your equipment is sorted this recipe is designed to give you plenty of time to chillax. A few minutes of work up front, followed by hands-off 4-4.5 hours in the oven.
