Veal Ossobuco Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Veal

   Season the veal shanks with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Brown the Veal

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

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the diced carrot, celery, and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Tomato Paste and Wine

   Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Then, pour in the dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze it.

5. 5

   Simmer

   Return the veal shanks to the pot. Add the beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once cooked, remove the bay leaves. Serve the ossobuco over pasta or with vegetables and potatoes. Top with gremolata before serving.
