Instructions
-
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
2. Season the veal shanks with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, shaking off excess.
-
3. In a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the veal shanks on all sides. Remove and set aside.
-
4. In the same pot, add chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.
-
5. Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful bits. Allow the wine to reduce by half.
-
6. Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef or veal broth, bay leaves, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
-
7. Return the browned veal shanks to the pot, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid. Cover and transfer the pot to the preheated oven. Braise for 2 to 2.5 hours or until the veal is fork-tender.
-
8. Meanwhile, prepare the gremolata by combining chopped parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest.
-
9. Once done, remove the bay leaves. Serve the Osso Buco over a bed of risotto, mashed potatoes, or polenta. Garnish with gremolata if desired.
