This is a great dish. Serve with mashed potatoes or soft polenta.
2 medium racks of baby-back ribs divided into single ribs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced thin
2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves
2 cups dry white wine
Salt/Pepper
Heat oven to 350.
Choose a heavy cast iron pot that will accommodate all the ribs. Heat pot on stove and add oil, when hot, brown the ribs deeply all over. Do in batches.
Drain any oil and add garlic and sage and cook for 10 seconds, add all the ribs, stir and add the white wine. Let the wine boil for 20-30 seconds and reduce the heat to low.
Add salt and pepper and cover the pot with a tight fitting lid.
Place pot in oven and leave for 2 hours. Occasionally stir ribs and check for enough liquid. If the liquid is low, add a bit of water.
When done, place on serving platter and serve with Polenta or mashed potatoes.
