Pork Osso Buco* Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork Osso Buco

   Season the pork osso buco pieces with salt and black pepper. In a large, heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork pieces for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the pork and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add diced carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the diced pancetta to the pot and cook for another 2 minutes. Then, add the cooked white beans, chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.

4. 4

   Braise the Pork

   Return the seared pork osso buco to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the broth mixture. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce to low heat. Allow to braise for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.

5. 5

   Prepare the Root Beer Reduction

   In a small saucepan, bring the root beer to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half and thickened slightly. This should take about 15-20 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the osso buco is done, serve it over the bean cassoulet with a drizzle of root beer reduction on top. Garnish with pickled mustard seeds.
