Pork Osso Buco Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork Shanks

   Season pork shanks with salt and black pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shanks on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Add Tomatoes and Broth

   Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, bay leaves, and fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Combine and Cook

   Return the seared pork shanks to the pot. Ensure they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the pot and transfer to a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C). Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours until the meat is fork-tender.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the pot from the oven. Discard bay leaves. Serve the pork osso buco with the sauce spooned over the top and garnish with chopped parsley.
