Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Shank

    Pat the pork shank dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Pork Shank

    In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork shank and sear on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove the pork shank and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the vegetables have softened (about 5-7 minutes).

  3. 5

    Add Broth and Herbs

    Return the pork shank to the pot, then pour in the chicken broth. Add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Cook the Shank

    Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender. Check occasionally and add more broth if needed.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the pork shank from the pot. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
