2 Tbsp fenugreek seeds

2 tsp mustard seeds

cup dried curry leaves

1 pinch pepper

Directions

Maple Date Short Ribs

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Put the wine, maple syrup, stock, dates, spices and salt and pepper into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer until the dates are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender, let cool and reserve a half cup. Place the ribs in a pan large enough to accommodate them in a single layer. Pour over the marinade, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 hours. Wipe excess marinade from ribs, put them onto a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour, until ribs are very tender.

3. Serve with Green Beans with Cilantro (see recipe).

Green Beans with Cilantro
