This pork osso buco with shank isn’t as rich as veal, but I like it better. If you want veal, you can use it here, too.
Ingredients
- 6 thick-cut pork shank sections, 2 to 3 inches thick
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Season pork shank with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil and butter in a heavy pot over high heat. Sear pork shanks in hot butter-oil mixture until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 3
Cook and stir onion, celery, carrot, and salt in the same pot over medium heat until onion turns translucent. Add tomato paste; cook and stir until tomato starts to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in flour; stir for 2 minutes. Pour in wine, increase heat to medium-high, and simmer until sauce reduces slightly.
Step 4
Add bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, and cloves. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return pork shanks to the pot along with any accumulated juices on the plate. Cover and cook at a very low simmer until meat is fork tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
Step 5
Serve pork shanks with plenty of sauce, garnished with parsley and lemon zest.
Chef’s Notes:
If using whole cloves, tie them in cheesecloth along with the bay leaf and other herbs to create a "bouquet garni."
