sounds great…I can make it…but I can’t eat it…Hmmmm, i am awaiting a recipe i can! Any thoughts on subbing out with beef? or poultry? or fish?
I think you could certainly do it with beef short ribs and it would work out well. After they’re cooked, just pull the meat off of the ribs and you’ll be set. I imagine you could also use a roast rib of beef or pot roast type meat and the timing would have to change. Let me know if you do it and how it turns out.
I’m going to put some northern white beans in as well.
So here’s the skinny on this dish. First off, it smells amazing and so does the rest of the house. Second, it’s good, but the sauce is really what makes the dish. I think I’ll try slicing the meat very thin on Thursday and making it into a bbq sandwich.
