SLOW COOKER OSSO BUCO



Slow Cooker Osso Buco image

This delightful tummy pleaser is from my GF via Finecooking.com. There are two tricks to this recipe: browning the veal shanks before they go into the slow cooker and reducing the sauce before serving. The result is an osso buco you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish from the labor-intensive classic. Prep time includes prep and browning until it is all assembled in the slow cooker. Enjoy!

Time 6h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 veal shanks, 1-1/2- to 2-inch-thick (about 2-1/2 lb.)
kosher salt, season to taste
fresh ground black pepper, season to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup dry white wine
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 small red onion, chopped (1-1/2 cups)
1 medium carrot, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds (1/2 cup)
1 stalk celery, chopped (1/2 cup)
5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated
1 large garlic clove, minced approx. (1 tsp.)

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a wide, shallow dish. Season the veal shanks all over with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour; shake off the excess flour. *Note: you can tie a piece of twine around the shanks to hold them together during the cooking process. Remove at serving.
  • Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, and when it foams, add the shanks to the skillet. Cook until golden, turning once, about 10 minutes. Transfer the shanks to a slow cooker.
  • Add the wine to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet and pour the contents of the skillet into the slow cooker. Add the tomatoes and their juices, chicken broth, onion, carrot, celery, and thyme. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours-the meat will be very tender and almost falling off the bone.
  • Transfer the shanks to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Pour the sauce from the slow cooker into a large skillet. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to about 2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the parsley, lemon zest, and garlic to make a gremolata. Serve the veal shanks topped with the sauce and the gremolata.

OSSOBUCCO



Ossobucco image

This classic veal recipe provides the staple for a magnificent Italian Sunday lunch

Provided by Ruth Watson

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

10g packet dried porcini
6thick cut veal shin bone, complete with marrow. Ask your butcher for hind quarter shin bones (about 4cm thick), as they're meatier and more tender than the front ones
a small handful of plain flour , seasoned
50g unsalted butter
3 tbsp olive oil
1large carrot , diced
1large celery stick, trimmed and diced
200ml dry white wine
225ml tomato sugocasa or passata
1 tsp Marigold Swiss vegetable bouillon powder dissolved in 250ml/9fl oz hot water

Steps:

  • Soak the porcini for at least 15 minutes in 200ml/7fl oz boiling water. Don't remove the membrane that holds the veal together, but trim off any obviously fatty or lumpy bits. Dust both sides of the meat with the seasoned flour.
  • Heat the butter and oil in a very large flameproof sauté pan or casserole over a medium-high heat. When the sizzling stops, put in the veal and fry the slices for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the meat to a plate.
  • Replace the pan over a low to medium heat and tip in the carrot and celery. Gently fry for 5 minutes until the vegetables have slightly softened, then raise the heat and pour in the wine. Bubble the wine furiously for 2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Fish the softened porcini out of the soaking liquid, squeeze out the excess moisture and reserve it. Chop the porcini roughly and add to the sauté pan, together with the soaking liquid. Add the sugocasa or passata and stock, then stir.
  • Put the veal back into the pan in a single layer, cover and bring to the boil. Immediately reduce the heat and simmer very gently for 2 hours, turning the veal slices halfway, until the meat is very soft. The liquid should reduce to a thickish sauce, but if it's still thin after 1¼ -1½ hours, half remove the lid to allow evaporation. Serve with the grain 'risotto' (see link, right).

  • Season the dish well with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, and rosemary, to taste.
  • Cook the osso bucco on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.

Conclusion:

Osso bucco is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can make a perfect osso bucco in your slow cooker.
