We just had the short ribs for dinner. They were so yummy. We made mashed potatoes and shredded brussels sprouts with pancetta. We followed the original recipe using Thai chili sauce and an other review suggested but we would add a dash of hot sauce to kick up the taste next time. To cut down on the calories and fat, we made the mashed potatoes with a little butter, a little half and half and canned chicken broth to make them moist without adding more fat. My husband sliced the brussel sprouts and sauted them in a bit of olive oil and a tiny bit of butter along with pancetta and shallots. We added the pan sauce to the short ribs and mashed potatoes at serving and the trio (short ribs, light mashed potatoes and shredded brussel sprouts) made a memorable dinner!
