Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

six to eight 2-inch-thick veal shanks (5 pounds total), each tied securely with kitchen string to keep meat attached to bone
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds onion, sliced thin
2 celery ribs, sliced thin
1/2 pound fresh cremini or white mushrooms, tough stem ends trimmed
1/2 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded
1/2 pound fresh Portobello mushrooms, stems discarded
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/2 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 to 3/4 cup water
1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, washed well, spun dry, and minced
Accompaniment: cooked couscous

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°F.
  • In a heavy ovenproof kettle large enough to hold veal shanks in one layer heat 1 tablespoon each of oil and butter over moderately high heat until foam begins to subside and sauté onion and celery until beginning to turn golden.
  • Pat shanks dry between paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Arrange shanks on onion mixture and roast, covered tightly, in middle of oven 3 hours. (Meat will give off juices as it cooks.) Shanks may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered, before chilling, covered. Reheat shanks before proceeding.)
  • Cut mushrooms into 1/4-inch-thick slices. in a large skillet heat remaining 2 tablespoons each of oil and butter over moderately high heat until foam begins to subside and sauté mushrooms with thyme and salt and pepper to taste, stirring, until mushrooms begin to give off their liquid. Stir in vermouth or wine and lemon juice and cook, stirring, until all but about 1/3 cup liquid is evaporated. Mushrooms may be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely before chilling, covered.
  • Transfer shanks to a platter and keep warm. Transfer onions, celery, and pan juices to a blender with 1/2 cup water and purée until smooth, adding more water if necessary to thin sauce to desired consistency. Pour sauce into a saucepan and stir in mushroom mixture, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat sauce over moderate heat until heated through and stir in parsley.
  • Arrange shanks on couscous and spoon sauce over them.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The osso buco was fall-apart tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over pasta and it was delicious.
