Osso Buco
Ingredients
- 4 beef shanks
- 2 tablespoons wheat flour
- 1 large onion
- 1 large carrot
- 1 stalk celery
- 1 bell pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 dl white wine
- 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 200 g canned tomatoes with juice Fresh tomatoes if in season
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 dl olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- basil for garnish
Instructions
- Check that there are no bone fragments in the meat. Roll the beef shanks carefully in flour.
- Put a large frying pan on the fire and oil generously. Fry the meat until nicely browned. Set aside.
- Toss the onion, carrot, celery, peppers and crushed garlic cloves in frying pan. Make sure there is enough of olive oil. Sauté the vegetables for a couple of minutes.
- Pour the wine into the pan, bring to the boil and pour into the cooking pot. Allow the vegetables to soften for a while, simmering gently in the pot. Then pour the canned tomatoes into the pot. Season with sugar, vinegar, basil, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Add the meat to the pot. Add enough water to cover all the ingredients.
- Cover the pot with a lid. Simmer in a 125C oven until the meat is almost falling off the bone. In practice, this will take about three hours. Feel free to taste and season.
- Place the osso buco in a serving dish, pile the sauce around it and top with basil.
