Braised Osso Bucco With Lemon Feta Crumbles Recipes

OSSO BUCCO (BRAISED BEEF SHANKS RECIPE)

Steps:

• If you want, dredge the beef shanks through flour and coat it. ( I skip this to keep it lower carb)
• Melt the butter in a large oven safe braising pan over medium to medium-high heat.
• Fry the beef shanks in the butter until browned on the outside.
• Remove the beef shanks to a plate, and keep warm.
• Add the onion slices to the skillet; cook and stir until the onion is tender. Add in the garlic and the carrots and fry until the garlic is fragrant.
• Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pan at this point. Stir in the beef broth and the tomatoes.
• Return the beef to the pan, making sure the shanks are submerged in the sauce.
• The best way to cook now is to place the lid on top and cook the shanks in a 300 °F for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender and falling off the bone.
• For stove top, cover and simmer on the stove top over low heat for 2-3 hours, checking and moving the meat occasionally to ensure that the bottom is not burning.

CHIANTI BRAISED OSSO BUCO WITH ROASTED FENNEL AND FINGERLING POTATOES AND LEMON PARSLEY PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the shanks with salt and pepper and brown them in the Dutch oven, turning once, until well-browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the shanks to a plate.
• Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the oil and return the Dutch oven to medium heat. Add 2 garlic cloves and cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until caramelized, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to high, pour in the wine, and reduce by 1/4. Add the veal stock, 1 thyme sprig, rosemary, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Arrange the shanks in the Dutch oven, cover, and transfer to the oven. Braise the shanks until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Raise the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring, until golden brown. Add the fennel strips and cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Stir in the remaining garlic clove and thyme sprig and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the fennel-potato mixture with fennel seed and shallot and cook 2 minutes more. Turn off the oven, and leave the skillet inside to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, make the pesto: Combine the parsley, garlic, and lemon zest in a food processor and pulse until chopped. While the motor is running, drizzle in the oil until a smooth paste is formed. Season with salt and pepper.
• When ready to serve, divide the fennel-potato mixture among plates and sprinkle with a little of the reserved fennel fronds. Place a veal shank on each plate, spoon over some of the sauce, and top with a little of the pesto. Sprinkle shanks with the sea salt and serve.

OSSO BUCO WITH LEMON AND SAGE

Steps:

• In a heavy casserole, soften the onion in two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and lemon peel and cook for two to three minutes.
• Meanwhile, dredge the veal shanks in flour, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and saute the shanks a few at a time until they are lightly browned on all sides. Add them to the casserole.
• Pour the fat from the skillet. Add the white wine and scrape up the coagulated cooking juices. Add the stock, tomatoes, sage, salt and pepper. The liquid should cover the veal. If it does not, add more stock.
• Cover the casserole and simmer over low heat for two hours, or until the veal is very tender. If there is too little liquid during cooking time, add more. If there is too much, when the shanks are done remove them to a heated serving dish. Bring the liquid to boil over high heat until it has reduced and thickened. Pour it over the shanks. Sprinkle with parsley.
