How to Make Biba S Osso Bucco
- Pat the veal shanks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
- Sear the veal shanks on all sides until nicely browned (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove from the pot and set aside.
- Add the carrots, celery, and onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Return the veal shanks to the pot. Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, bay leaf, and rosemary.
- Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and braise for at least 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the veal is fork-tender.
- Remove the veal shanks from the pot and set aside. Skim off any excess fat from the sauce.
- Increase heat to medium and reduce the sauce until it slightly thickens. Stir in the chopped parsley.
- Return the veal shanks to the sauce, spoon the sauce over them, and serve immediately. Enjoy with creamy polenta or mashed potatoes!
