PRESSURE COOKER OSSO BUCO

This classic dish of veal shanks braised in wine and tomatoes is a masterpiece of northern Italian cooking. Be sure to provide small spoons (espresso spoons work well) so people can scoop the marrow out of the bones, then eat the marrow sprinkled with salt and some of the gremolata. This is one of 10 recipes from Melissa Clark's "Dinner in an Instant: 75 Modern Recipes for Your Pressure Cooker, Multicooker, and Instant Pot" (Clarkson Potter, 2017).

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

All-purpose flour, for dredging
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 bay leaf
2 1/2 to 3 pounds (4 pieces) osso buco (bone-in veal shanks), patted dry with a paper towel
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
2 medium carrots, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 celery stalk, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon tomato paste
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken or beef stock, preferably homemade
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon
2 garlic cloves, minced
Pinch of kosher salt, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Spread flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Tie the thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and bay leaf together with kitchen twine.
  • Season the veal with the salt and pepper to taste, and then dredge it in the flour to coat all sides. Using the sauté function on high if available, heat the oil in the pressure cooker. Add the osso buco in batches (do not crowd the pot), and brown it well on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Altogether this will take 20 to 30 minutes to get the pieces nicely golden all over. Transfer the osso buco pieces to a plate as they brown.
  • Turn the sauté function down to medium if available, or unplug the pot for a minute to let it cool down slightly. Add the butter to the pressure cooker and let it melt; then stir in the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are very soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste, and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the tomato paste has darkened, another 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the wine to the pot to deglaze it, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the stock and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Nestle the osso buco pieces into the pot, then top with the herb bundle. Cover and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.
  • Transfer the osso buco to a plate and, using the sauté function, simmer the sauce, stirring it often, until it is thick and reduced, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the sauce settle for at least 10 minutes, and then spoon any excess fat off the top.
  • While the sauce is settling, make the gremolata: In a small bowl, stir together the parsley, lemon zest, garlic, and salt.
  • To serve, transfer the osso buco to a serving platter, spoon the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the gremolata, with more on the side.

PRESSURE COOKER OSSO BUCO RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Pressure Cooker Osso Buco Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-11135

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 veal shanks (4 to 4 1/2 pounds total), about 1 1/2 inches thick, tied tightly around the middle with kitchen string
3 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 cups yellow onion, chopped
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup carrot, diced
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
1 1/2 cups dry red wine
4 1/2 cups rich veal stock, or homemade beef stock, or substitute 1 cup demi-glace and 3 1/2 cups packaged low sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Season the meat on all sides with 2 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and 1 teaspoon of the pepper. Dredge the veal shanks in the flour, shaking them to remove any excess. Set the shanks aside. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the remaining dredging flour and discard the rest. Heat the olive oil in a 6-quart pressure cooker set to the "browning" program. Brown the shanks on all sides, in batches if necessary, 10 to 12 minutes per batch. Remove the shanks from the pressure cooker and set aside. Add the onion, celery, and carrot to the pressure cooker and cook until softened and lightly browned around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste, garlic, bay leaves, half of the thyme, half of the rosemary, the remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and the remaining 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Add the stock and return the shanks to the pressure cooker. Bring to a boil. Close and lock the lid, and set to "high pressure" for 65 minutes. Open the pressure release valve and allow the steam to escape. Unlock and carefully open the lid. The shanks should be nearly fall-from-the-bone tender. If the meat still meets with resistance, continue to cook under pressure for 2 to 4 minutes longer. Carefully transfer the shanks to a bowl and tent it with aluminum foil to keep warm. Remove and discard the bay leaves. In a medium heat-proof bowl, mix the butter with the reserved dredging flour to form a smooth paste. Ladle 1 cup of the hot cooking liquid into the bowl and whisk to combine. Then stir this flour-broth mixture into the cooking liquid in the pressure cooker. Add the remaining rosemary and thyme. Set the pressure cooker to the "simmer" program and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and smooth and any floury taste is gone, 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, then return the shanks to the sauce to rewarm briefly before serving. Serve as desired, garnished with a sprinkling of parsley.

Tips:

  • Use a Dutch oven or large pot that can accommodate all of the ingredients comfortably.
  • Sear the osso buco pieces in batches in hot oil to get a nice brown crust. This will add flavor and color to the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when searing the osso buco. Otherwise, the meat will not brown properly.
  • Add the vegetables, herbs, and spices to the pot along with the osso buco. This will help to create a flavorful broth.
  • Cover the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
  • Serve the osso buco with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta. You can also garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

Osso buco is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of tender meat, rich broth, and vegetables makes it a crowd-pleaser. Plus, it is relatively easy to make, especially if you use a pressure cooker. So, if you are looking for a new and exciting recipe to try, give osso buco a try. You won't be disappointed.
