Pork Osso Bucco Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   Season the pork shanks with salt and black pepper on all sides.

2. 2

   Sear the Meat

   In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork shanks and sear until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the meat and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Deglaze the Pot

   Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Combine Ingredients

   Return the pork shanks to the pot. Add beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, and additional salt and pepper as needed. Bring to a boil.

6. 6

   Slow Cook

   Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 2 to 2.5 hours or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve the osso bucco with gremolata or over risotto or polenta if desired.
