Ossobuco

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Searing the Meat

    Season the wild boar shanks with salt and black pepper. In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shanks and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cooking Mirepoix

    In the same pot, add diced carrot, celery, and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Deglazing the Pot

    Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce by half.

  4. 4

    Simmering

    Return the seared wild boar shanks to the pot. Add beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 2 hours or until the meat is tender.

  5. 5

    Making the Gremolada

    Combine lemon zest, minced garlic, and parsley in a small bowl. This will be served as a garnish.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Once the ossobuco is tender, serve it over soft polenta. Top with the gremolada before serving.
