Italian Osso Bucco-Recipe
Entrée
Osso Bucco
3 ½ to 4 lbs veal shanks ( I serve one shank per person. If the
cost is high you can cook down the meat and separate it from the
bone.)
¼ Cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbs olive oil
2 oz diced salt pork
¼ Cup butter, melted
½ lb diced and peeled onions
1 large clove garlic, mashed
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
2 bay leaves, remove before serving
¾ Cup dry white wine
2 Tbs finely chopped carrot
½ stalk celery minced
8 to 10 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped fine
1 Cup canned chopped tomatoes (I have used fresh tomatoes, but I
find that the canned are constantly good in taste and the liquid
is always welcomed in the sauce)
1 Tbs tomato paste
½ Cup warm water
Dredge the veal in flour and shake off any excess. Heat olive
oil, salt pork and butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet. Add the
onion and brown. When the onions are browned add the veal and
garlic. Brown on all sides for about
8 to 10 minutes. Add,
rosemary, salt and pepper. Stir and brown for about for about 10
minutes longer. Add bay leaves, wine, carrot, celery, parsley,
and tomatoes. Stir tomato paste with the warm water until well
blended and then add that to the mixture. Stir and simmer
covered for about 40 minutes. ( I tend to let this simmer longer
on my stove. This serves two purposes, one makes the meat
extremely tender and two fills the house with wonderful aromas.)
Serve over Ravioli ( I use fresh over sized store bought
ravioli. I have made my own, but I find that the store bought is
good quality and much simpler. If you would like a recipe for
homemade ravioli please send a request to
