BRAISED VEAL SHORT RIBS WITH CARAMELIZED PARSNIPS

3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
3 pounds veal short ribs
2 medium carrots, diced (1 cup)
1 large white onion, diced (1 cup)
2 medium stalks celery, sliced (1 cup)
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine or nonalcoholic white wine
5 cups beef or veal broth
Bouquet garni (See Success Hint, below)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 parsnips, peeled and cut into 2 x 1/4-inch strips
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/8 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons parsley flakes

Heat oil in 4-quart Dutch oven over high heat. Brown ribs in oil about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer ribs to plate; set aside.

Add carrots, onion, celery and garlic to Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables begin to brown.

Add wine; stir to lift small particles of meat and vegetables from bottom of pan. Heat to boiling. Add ribs, broth, bouquet garni, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer about 1hour or until meat is very tender.

While ribs are simmering, heat parsnips, water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to boiling in 12-inch skillet or sauté pan. Boil about 5 minutes or until liquid has evaporated and parsnips are tender. Stir in butter and sugar. Cook about 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until parsnips are golden brown.

Place ribs on warmed platter. Strain any remaining juices in Dutch oven through a fine-mesh sieve; pour 1 cup over ribs. Discard vegetables. Arrange parsnips next to ribs. Sprinkle parsley over ribs and parsnips. Serve immediately.

4 servings.
