We think of ribs as the quintessential summer party fare – they stand up to a ton of flavor and are easily prepared ahead of time. Low and slow is the name of the game. In a pinch ribs can be cooked within an hour, but if you have the time to cook them for several you will be truly rewarded. Here's our go-to technique for ribs that will set the bar to a whole new level.
Rinse it off. Put it in a big pot and fill with cold water. Bring to a boil and then a low simmer for 15 minutes with lid off. Skim all foam. Add water if necessary to cover again, add spices in cheesecloth if using, lid on, into 350 oven for 4-6 hours until a big fork slides in and out easily. Remove and splash with some cooking liquid, cover with foil to rest a half hour. Boil vegetables in cooking liquid at this time.
The aniseed flavor of fennel and the sweetness of rosemary work really well with lamb cutlets, but you could use this marinade for a whole leg of roast lamb. Sweet, roasted nectarines are a great companion to any lamb dish. I coat my nectarines (or peaches) with apple syrup, but you could use a good-quality maple syrup instead. These nectarines could also be served as a dessert with mascarpone or softly whipped cream.

Nose-to-tail doesn’t just mean eating all the cuts of the animal, it’s also about making the most of each of those cuts. In all aged culinary traditions, especially those with particularly rich peasant foods, the most delicious dishes are the result of several phases of cooking. This recipe is the prime example of creating a meal to be cherished from what would otherwise be considered an off-cut and discarded.
An hour before cooking pull your steak out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Position on a rack to encourage airflow around the meat. Season liberally with coarse grain salt and black pepper and let rest for at least 40 minutes before cooking. This will allow the salt to permeate and tenderize the meat. It will also draw out excess moisture. Be certain to pat the meat dry before cooking.
