How to make Braised Chilli-Spiced Short Ribs with Black Beans

Put beans in a 4-to 5-quart heavy pot with enough water to cover by 2 inches.

Bring to a boil and boil 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand, covered, 1 hour.

Wipe anchos clean, then stem and seed. Discard ribs and tear anchos into pieces.

Soak anchos in boiling-hot water until softened, about 20 minutes. Transfer anchos to a blender, reserving soaking liquid.

Purée anchos with onion, garlic, chipotles with sauce, tomato paste, molasses, cumin, cloves, 80ml water, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Pat ribs dry and season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper (total). Heat oil in a wide 6-to 8-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Brown ribs in batches, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer as browned to a platter. Discard fat from pot.

Preriscalda il forno a 177°C con la griglia al centro.

Cook bacon in pot over medium heat until browned, then transfer with a slotted spoon to platter.

Stir chilli purée into fat in pot (it may spatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 6 minutes. Stir in reserved chilli-soaking liquid, remaining 475ml water, and cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Return ribs and bacon to pot and braise, covered, in oven until ribs are very tender, 3 to 3 1/4 hours. Skim fat from sauce.

Drain beans, then return to pot and add fresh water (1925ml ), bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until beans are just tender, 1 1/4 to 2 hours (depending on age of beans). Drain just before serving.

Serve short ribs with beans.
