Osso Buco

Method

Osso Buco

  1. 1

    Sear the Pork

    Season the pork shanks with salt and black pepper. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shanks until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Deglaze and Cook

    Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute. Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot. Let it reduce by half.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Add chicken broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Return the pork shanks to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the meat is tender.

Risotto

  1. 5

    Prepare Broth

    In a separate saucepan, heat the chicken broth over low heat.

  2. 6

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 7

    Cook Rice

    Add Arborio rice and toast for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and cook until absorbed, stirring frequently.

  4. 8

    Incorporate Broth

    Add warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed before adding more. This will take about 20-25 minutes.

  5. 9

    Finish Risotto

    Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Carrots

  1. 10

    Cook Carrots

    In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced carrots, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
