For Slow Cooker Method
Turn a 5 quart slow cooker on high. Toss ribs in 1-2 teaspoons of coarse salt, pinch of pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the flour until evenly coated.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sear ribs, 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove the ribs from heat to a plate and let rest.
Add the onion and carrot to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, until somewhat softened. Remove from heat and add to the slow cooker.
Whisk the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker. Place seared ribs in the liquid.
Cook 4-5 hours on high or 8-9 hours on low, until ribs are tender and falling off the bone. They should slide right off the bone when done!
Remove ribs from sauce. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick. Skim fat from the sauce and using either an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender, blend until smooth. Add salt to taste.
Drizzle ribs with sauce and garnish with fresh parsley as desired. Serve over your favorite mashed potatoes or roasted veggies!
