Osso Bucco

Shrimp Picante

Method

Osso Bucco

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, carrot, and celery into small dice. Mince the garlic. Pat the veal shanks dry and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Veal

    In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the veal shanks and sear until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, fresh thyme, and lemon zest. Return the veal shanks to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

  6. 6

    Braise

    Cover the pot and reduce heat to low. Allow to braise for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the veal is fork-tender.

    In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
