This is a classic bistro dish and sits nicely with pommes frites or crunchy roast potatoes cooked with duck fat and garlic. A glass or two of Côtes-du-Rhône would be a good idea too.
With all the bone and richness that these ribs have, it is worth the trouble to braise them to deliver a good and tasty liquor with which a sauce can be made.
A thick, punchy unctuous ointment to serve alongside meats from the barbecue. Bavette, any form of chop, Merguez and lamb steaks or a herb-fed chicken that has been spatchcocked and slow grilled.
