Trotters and Shanks were the original, and the best, but here is a recipe from Americas Test Kitchen that will be more accessible<\/p>\n
2 Racks of Baby Back ribs
\n2 tsp ground fennel and salt and pepper – both sides
\nHeat up oil in a Dutch oven
\nBrown your ribs – just the meat side – about 6-8 minutes
\nRemove ribs and set aside, then add to Dutch oven
\n1 onion – minced
\n1 head fennel – minced
\n2 carrots – minced
\n2 TBL chopped sage
\n2 tsp rosemary – chopped
\n1 tsp kosher salt
\nCook about 12-15 minutes<\/p>\n
Add 1 C red wine to deglaze your pan and reduce – about 5 minutes
\nAdd 1 large (or 2 regular) cans of crushed tomatoes
\nAdd 3 C chicken broth and bring up to a simmer
\nAdd ribs back into the pot, meat side down
\nAdd an entire intact head of garlic
\nCover and move to a 300 degree oven for about two hours<\/p>\n
Remove ribs and garlic to a tray – set aside
\nSkim off fat from top of sauce
\nShred the ribs – separate out large pieces of fat and gristle<\/p>\n
