Sometimes when we pour out our desires to God, He appears to be indifferent. When the apostle Paul earnestly petitioned God for the removal of his thorn in the flesh, the request was not granted. However, in not giving this desire of Paul’s heart, God gave him his deeper desire. Certainly Paul’s greatest desire was to know God’s grace and power in order to be the most useful servant he could possibly be. God withheld the request in order to give Paul his deepest desire and thus glorify Himself (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).

INSTRUCTIONS

* Note: See the "Emeril's Essence Information" and "Roasted Garlic Mash
Potatoes" recipes which are included in this collection.
Cut the ribs into 2-rib portions. Season the ribs with Emeril's Essence.
Season the flour with Essence. Dredge the ribs in the flour. In a large
heavy pot, heat the oil. Brown the ribs, 3 to 4 at a time, for about 4 to 5
minutes. As they brown, transfer to a platter and set aside. Using a metal
spatula, remove any browned particles on the bottom of the pot and discard.
In the same pot, add the onions, bell peppers and cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the carrots, garlic, and bay leaves. Season with salt and cayenne. Stir
and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and simmer for about 3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water. Add the ribs and
completely submerge in the mixture. Stir in the herbs. Reduce the heat to
medium and simmer for about 2 1/2 hours, cover, or until the ribs are
tender and the meat is falling off the bones. Skim any fat that has risen
to the surface. On a platter, mound the Roasted Garlic Mash Potatoes in the
center. Arrange the ribs around the potatoes and drizzle with the gravy.
Garnish with green onions and Essence. This recipe yields 6 servings.
