My Whatever Osso Bucco

Got to cook Osso Bucco but used different recipes as inspiration/ideas on how to cook my own version of Osso Bucco.

My Whatever Osso Bucco



Ingredients

• 1 kilo Beef shanks (with bone marrow!)
• Flour for dredging
• Salt and pepper
• 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
  
• 2 white onions, diced
• 2 cloves garlic,chopped
• 1 big carrot, diced 1/2 inch big
• 1/2 cup 1/2 inch diced celery stalks
• Stalks of rosemary, thyme, tied with a string (bouquet garni)
  
• 3 pcs bay leaves
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 3 cups chicken stalk
• 1 small can crushed tomatoes (1 tbsp tomato paste if you prefer)
  

1. In a cast iron dutch oven, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in medium heat.
2. Season shanks with salt and pepper. Dredge lightly with flour. Cook the shanks in the pot until all sides are brown. Set aside.
3. Add remaining oil, then saute onions, garlic, carrots, and celery.
4. Add the crushed tomatoes. Add back the shanks. Pour in the wine and chicken stock.
5. Add the bouquet garni and bay leaves. Simmer.
6. Cook over low heat for 2 1/2 hours, turning the shanks once in a while. Make sure that shanks are at least 3/4 covered. Better still, shanks are fully submerged in the liquid.

Serve hot with garlic toast.
