I cooked this yesterday so that we can enjoy it tonight as a Friday night #fakeaway. I have used shin of beef, but I can’t help thinking this would be amazing with ox cheek or beef short ribs. Both of those would need more cooking and would be better cooked the day before so that you can scrape away solidified fat leaving a rich and sumptuous sauce. I’m going to serve this with Jasmine rice and a crunchy papaya and peanut salad with lots of chilli, lime and some nice cold Thai beers 🍺
