DIY Mediterranean Style Slow Cooked Short Ribs
It's winter and time for comfort food. One of our favorites is short ribs. We've previously published several short rib recipes but we're always creating new ingredient combinations for different flavors. We love Mediterranean cooking and especially all the wonderful spices. So we decided to make these Mediterranean style.
As always, we used as many organic ingredients as possible and made it as healthy as we can. It turned out very tasty with a thick rich sauce! But the figs, olives and garbanzos were so good that we decided next time we'd add more of those and leave out the potatoes. But it's all individual tastes; so...if you like Mediterranean flavors, try this at home; it's DIY!

fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoon apple balsamic vinegar (may substitute any fruit flavored balsamic)

1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
