  • Cooking the ribs: - Trim the ribs of sinew and excess fat. - Soak them for 3 days in water or wine with spices, pepper, garlic, and salt. - After soaking, rinse the ribs under running water and rub them all over with spices and a few drops of vegetable oil. - You can cook the ribs low and slow at about 120°F (50°C) for 8 hours, or braise them for 4 hours the usual way over medium-low heat, along with the chopped celery, tomatoes, carrot, onion, bay leaf, vegetable oil, and 150 g of the kvass wort (a fermented rye-malt base), adding water. - Transfer the ribs to a plate and cover. Making the sauce: - Add the remaining kvass wort to the pan the ribs cooked in and simmer until the vegetables break down into a soft mash. - Add a little water during cooking if needed. Making the sides: - Wash the potatoes, prick them with a fork, and rub with oil and salt. - Wrap the potatoes in foil and bake in the oven. - Cut the pumpkin into cubes and blanch 8–10 minutes in a little salted water, then drain and let cool slightly. - For the herb butter to stuff the potatoes, mix softened butter with chopped dill, garlic, and salt. Plating and serving: - Sear the braised ribs in a skillet until lightly crusted on both sides, basting them with the vegetable-and-kvass-wort sauce. - Grill the onion and thread it onto toothpicks. - Finely chop green onion for garnish. - Arrange the pumpkin, the onion on toothpicks, and the foil-baked potatoes (halved and stuffed with the herb butter) on a platter. - Place the ribs in the center, sprinkle with green onion, and garnish with red currants. These ribs are worth every minute—enjoy!
