- Osso Buco
-
- 4 veal shanks, about 1 or 1-1/2" thick
- flour for dredging
- oil
-
- 1 carrot, sliced crosswise
- 1 stalk celery, sliced crosswise
- 1 med. onion, sliced thin
- 1 or 2 bay leaves
-
- 1/2 c. dry white wine
-
- 1 can peeled/seeded tomatoes (12 oz. can, or half a 28oz. can)
-
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- salt & pepper to taste
-
- Heat the oil over high heat in a large skillet (big enough for 4
- shanks, probably a 12" atl east). Dredge the veal in the flour, and
- brown shanks on all sides (maybe 2min./side). Remove from pan and
- reduce heat to medium-high. Add a bit more oil if necessary, and
- saute the carrot, onion, celerym, and bay leaves for 1 minute or
- a bit longer. Reduce heat to low, and add wine. Simmer until wine
- is gone.
-
- Return veal shanks to pan, add tomatoes, and cover. Simmer for a darn
- long time -- 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Make sure after you cover it that it
- doesn't start to boil hard.
-
- When done, remove shanks again from sauce. Strain rest of pan contents
- into a bowl, then return liquid to pan. (I usually throw a few of the
- veggies back into the pan, too, for a more textured dish.) Raise heat
- to medium, throw in the garlic and lemon zest, salt & pepper to taste,
- and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Replace shanks and heat them back up.
-
- Serve with lots of sauce. Risotto is the preferred side dish, but I
- don't make it -- I usually serve it with crusty french bread to sop up
- the sauce and some sauteed zuchinni or something a bit crunchy.
-
- Enjoy!
