Ossobuco Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Shanks

   Season the lamb or veal shanks with salt and black pepper on all sides.

2. 2

   Sear the Shanks

   In a large heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shanks and brown them on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the shanks and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Vegetables

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

4. 4

   Deglaze the Pot

   Add the dry white wine to the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for about 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Remaining Ingredients

   Add the broth, crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, and return the shanks to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer.

6. 6

   Slow Cook

   Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 2-2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove the shanks from the pot and serve with mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
