Recipe Summary Pork Osso Buco

Pork shank isn't as rich as veal, but I like it better in osso buco. Still, if you want veal you can use it here too.

Ingredients | Osso Bucco

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

6 thick-cut pork shank sections, 2 to 3 inches thick

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 large yellow onion, diced

1 large carrot, diced

2 ribs celery, diced

1 teaspoon kosher salt

¼ cup tomato paste

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup white wine

2 cups chicken broth

1 bay leaf

½ teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon dried rosemary

⅛ teaspoon ground cloves

Chopped Italian parsley

Freshly grated lemon zest

Directions

Salt and pepper both sides of pork shank sections.

Heat oil and butter in a heavy pot over high heat. Brown pork until it gets a nice sear, 3 or 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork to a plate; reduce heat to medium. Add onions, carrots, and celery to pot. Sprinkle with salt. Cook and stir until onions start to turn translucent. Add tomato paste; cook and stir until tomato paste starts to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in flour; stir for 2 minutes. Add white wine and raise heat to medium high.

When sauce comes to a simmer, cook until sauce reduces slightly. Add bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, and ground cloves. Add chicken stock and return to a simmer. Transfer pork back to pot along with any accumulated juices. Bring mixture to a very slow simmer. Cover and cook until fork tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.

Serve shanks with plenty of sauce, topped with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of lemon zest.

If using whole clove, tie them in some cheese cloth along with the bay leaf and other herbs to create a "bouquet garni."

You can serve the shanks over polenta, pasta, or rice.

Love garlic? Top the osso buco with gremolata rather than simply lemon zest and parsley.
