Osso Bucco

For several years I have heard "osso bucco" on older cooking shows. I was always curious and wanted to give it a try.

I found a recipe and it sounded simple enough and tasty.

This was prepared in a cast iron dutch oven.


Osso Bucco
3 large beef shanks
2 TBSP olive oil
5 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup carrots sliced
1 tsp garlic
1 can Italian stewed tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine
1 cup chicken broth
1 tsp dried basil

Start off by searing the beef shanks. Remove and set aside. Add the oil, onions, carrots and spices, saute for 3-5 minutes. Add the red wine and broth to deglaze the pan. Next add the tomatoes and beef shanks back in. Cover and simmer for 2 hours on 350 degrees.
Serve over mashed potatoes with a nice green side.
