In Italian Osso Bucco means "Bone with a Hole". Served with Creamy Parmesan Risotto and a fresh homemade Gremolata (this really added a nice fresh finishing touch). This can also be done with veal shanks.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup olive oil (or less)
3 -4 lbs pork shanks
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon himalayan salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup red wine
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons anchovy paste
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary (fresh)
1 tablespoon chopped thyme (fresh)
2 -3 bay leaves
1 quart of beef bone broth (or beef stock)
1/4-1/2 cup capers (Rinsed)
1/2-3/4 cup pitted kalametas olive

Steps:

  • Chop carrots, celery, and onions (I put everything in my food processer).
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Heat a large Dutch oven (I used my mother-in-laws 7 1/4 quart Le Creuset's classic enameled cast-iron Dutch Oven) Add enough olive oil to cover the bottom (use more or less than 1/2 cup).
  • Combine flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish, dredge shanks. Shake off excess flour. Transfer to Dutch Oven cook until all sides are browned. The more browned the better. Remove the shanks and set aside.
  • Add or remove oil as needed to saute onions, celery,and carrots in the Dutch Oven until softened and lightly browned.
  • Add garlic, bay leaves, thyme, rosematy salt and pepper (to taste - go light on the salt at this stage the capers and olives will add extra salt) tomato paste and anchovy paste. Cook for 1 - 2 minutes.
  • Add the red wine to the Dutch Oven to deglaze the pan. Scrap up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add beef broth (or stock) and bay leaves - bring to a boil.
  • Return shanks to the Dutch Oven, add capers and olives. Cover the Dutch oven and transfer to the oven.
  • Cook for 2 - 3 hours. This depends on the size of the shanks.
  • Remove bay leaves - ready to serve!

This was a great recipe! The osso bucco was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a real crowd-pleaser.

The osso bucco was delicious, but the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less salt next time.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it! The osso bucco was fall-apart tender and the sauce was amazing. I served it over risotto and it was a real treat.

The osso bucco was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I might try braising it for a little longer next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The key is to brown the meat well before braising it. That's what gives it that deep, rich flavor.
