- * Note: Creme fraiche can be found in the dairy case of well-stocked supermarkets.
- For the Short Ribs: Place the ribs in a glass baking dish. Season with pepper and add in about 8 sprigs of thyme. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight. The next day, season the ribs on all sides with salt and bring to room temperature. Brown the ribs in the oil in a Dutch oven or possibly roasting pan over high heat till well browned on all sides, about 4 min a side.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the ribs to a platter. Cook the onion, celery and carrot in the same pan you've browned the meat in over medium heat, stirring constantly to pick up all the crusty bits left in the pan. Cook till the vegetables are lightly browned, about 6 to 8 min. Add in the bay leaf, about 6 sprigs of thyme and the parsley. Add in the vinegar, red wine and Port and reduce by three-quarters; this will take about 15 min. Add in the veal stock and bring to a boil.
- Place the ribs meat-side down in the pan. The liquid should come 3/4 of the way up the side of the meat. Cover the pan with oven-proof plastic wrap and then foil. Place the ribs in the oven and braise for approximately 3 hrs. After 2 hrs 45 min, check the meat for doneness. It should be tender and falling off the bone. Insert a paring knife into a rib; the meat should fall off the knife easily.
- When the meat is done, uncover the pan and let the ribs brown in the oven, 10 to 15 min. Let the ribs rest for 1/2 hour in their juices, then remove them to a baking sheet and strain the pan juices into a bowl. When the juices cold you will be able to skim off most of the fat. When ready to serve, place the ribs in their juices in a 400 degree oven to reheat, about 15 min.
- For the Potato Puree: Boil the baking and Yukon Gold potatoes (skin on) in water to cover with 1 Tbsp. of the salt till tender, about 20 min. Strain them and set aside till cold sufficient to handle.
- Peel the potatoes and put them through a food mill or possibly potato ricer (At the restaurant they pass the mix through a fine mesh tamis with a rubber spatula two times. This makes an extremely smooth puree. You can skip this step if you want a more rustic-style potato puree), then place them in a heavy-bottomed pan. Stir the potatoes with a wooden spoon over medium heat to dry them out, then slowly add the chunks of butter, stirring constantly. Season with the remaining 3/4 tsp. of salt.
- Meanwhile, heat the lowfat milk and cream together in a separate pot. When the potatoes have absorbed all the butter, slowly add the lowfat milk mix till you achieve the consistency of a puree. Taste for seasoning and remove from the stove. If you are going to serve the puree soon, you can hold the potatoes in a metal bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap. Otherwise you can make them ahead of time, let them cold, keep them refrigerated and later heat the puree in the oven with a little more cream.
- For the Horseradish Cream: Mix together the creme fraiche and horseradish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- For Assembly: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the shallots, stirring till softened, 4 to 5 min. Rinse the spinach but don't dry, then add in it to the pan. Cook the spinach till just barely wilted, about 2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- In the center of each of 8 large bowls, place a spoonful of the warm potato puree. Divide the spinach among the 8 bowls. Place a short rib in the center of each bowl and spoon over some of the braising liquid. Top with a generous spoonful of horseradish cream and serve immediately.
