1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

1/2 cup dry red wine or water

Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until ribs are tender.
About 15 minutes before serving, remove ribs and vegetables, using slotted spoon; place in serving bowl. Skim fat from juices in cooker.
Mix remaining 1/2 cup water and the flour in 4-cup glass measuring cup or medium microwavable bowl until smooth. Pour juices from cooker into flour mixture; mix well. Microwave uncovered on High 3 to 4 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking, until mixture boils. Pour sauce over ribs and vegetables.
