What to do with those Chipotle peppers we smoked? This is our recipe inspired by Beef Short Ribs in Chipotle and Green Chili Sauce, Braised Short Ribs of Beef, and a number of others. I would classify it as a hot spicy beef stew. This was so hot, that it made my fingers tingle when I took the short ribs out of the bag. I think the slow and low cooking made the heat of the dish mellow as opposed to the raw heat of fresh hot peppers. We both enjoyed this so much, and plan to fix it again. Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
2 teaspoons cumin (freshly ground) |
1 teaspoon coriander (freshly ground) |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
4 tablespoons chipotle peppers (dried, crushed, minced) |
2 ounces lime juice (or juice of 2 limes) |
1 1/2 lbs beef short ribs (6 pieces without bones) |
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 medium onions (roughly chopped) |
3 garlic cloves (mashed and minced) |
1/2 cup baby carrots |
1/2 cup celery (chopped) |
1/2 lb potato (peeled and cut into bite sized pieces) |
1/2 cup green beans |
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
2 cups chicken stock |

1. Put first 5 ingredients in a zip lock bag and shake to mix.
2. Add lime juice and shake.
3. Add spare ribs and squeeze out air.
