Instructions

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 160C.

Step 2

Season short ribs and place in a roasting tray with wine, vegetables and beef stock. Cover with tin foil and place in oven for 4 hours or until the meat is falling off the bone.

Step 3

Put pickled onion ingredients in a jar and cover with vinegar. Refrigerate until ready.

Step 4

20 minutes before ribs are ready, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook pasta until al dente. Pour into a colander and drain thoroughly.

Step 5

Meanwhile in a heavy bottomed pan melt butter and add flour stirring into a paste with a wooden spoon. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until it turns golden in colour.

Step 6

Slowly whisk pre-warmed milk into butter mixture and cook for 5 – 8 minutes or until the sauce coats the back of the wooden spoon.

Step 7

Over a low heat add cheese and mustard. Mix until melted, stirring occasionally to stop it sticking. Fold in cooked pasta.

Step 8

Combine the ingredients for the sour cream and season.

Step 9

Transfer mac to your serving dish and top with rib meat, pickled onions and a dollop of sour cream.

Enjoy!
