CHICKEN THIGH OSSO BUCCO

LAMB OSSO BUCCO WITH RUSTIC LAMB DEMI-GLACE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
- Season lamb osso bucco liberally with salt and pepper and set aside on a plate. In a heavy-bottomed roasting pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil on stove top. Carefully place the osso bucco in the hot roasting pan and sear all sides, until nicely browned. Once seared on all sides, remove from pan and set back onto plate. Using the same pot with the lamb drippings in the bottom, add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Saute for approximately 10 minutes using a wooden spoon to scrape the lamb drippings off the bottom of the pan and to caramelize the vegetables. Once caramelized, add tomato paste, coat the vegetables with the paste, and brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the drippings off the bottom of pan using a wooden spoon. Reduce the wine by half and add the Lamb Stock and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Place the seared osso bucco back into the pan. Change to high heat and once the stock starts to boil, put roasting pan into the oven. Cook the osso bucco for about 2 hours until it is fork tender, almost falling off the bone. You will want to turn the osso bucco every half hour so that it cooks evenly and does not burn on the bottom.
- When finished, take the lamb out of the sauce and set aside. In a blender, blend the sauce until the vegetables are pureed. Place about a 1/4 cup of sauce into the bottom of each serving bowl, top with osso bucco and drizzle with a little more sauce. It is best served with roasted carrots, onions, and potatoes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large roasting pan, roast lamb bones in the oven until dark brown. On a sheet tray, roast carrots, celery, and onion in the oven until browned as well. Place the bones and vegetables in a 4-gallon stock pot. Add 2 gallons cold water, salt and pepper, and bay leaves, if desired. Bring to a boil over high heat and then turn down to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer for 4 to 5 hours to get the best results.
- If using lamb base, roast vegetables as explained above. In a 4-gallon stock pot, add 2 gallons water and whisk in lamb base. Add the roasted vegetables and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 1 hour.

OSSO BUCCO - PRESSURE COOKER RECIPE
Provided by WisconsinMike
Number Of Ingredients 23
Steps:
- 1. Spread flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Tie the thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and bay leaf together with kitchen twine. 2. Season the veal with the salt and pepper to taste, and then dredge it in the flour to coat all sides. Using the sauté function on high if available, heat the oil in the pressure cooker. Add the osso buco in batches (do not crowd the pot), and brown it well on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Altogether this will take 20 to 30 minutes to get the pieces nicely golden all over. Transfer the osso buco pieces to a plate as they brown. 3. Turn the sauté function down to medium if available, or unplug the pot for a minute to let it cool down slightly. Add the butter to the pressure cooker and let it melt; then stir in the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are very soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste, and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the tomato paste has darkened, another 1 to 2 minutes. 4. Add the wine to the pot to deglaze it, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the stock and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Nestle the osso buco pieces into the pot, then top with the herb bundle. Cover and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally. 5. Transfer the osso buco to a plate and, using the sauté function, simmer the sauce, stirring it often, until it is thick and reduced, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the sauce settle for at least 10 minutes, and then spoon any excess fat off the top. 6. While the sauce is settling, make the gremolata: In a small bowl, stir together the parsley, lemon zest, garlic, and salt. 7. To serve, transfer the osso buco to a serving platter, spoon the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the gremolata, with more on the side.
VENISON OSSO BUCCO
We have an Angus Butcher close to our new neighbourhood. I discovered this place a couple of years ago but it wasn't convenient at the time but now that we're down the street, I'll go there frequently. The quality of the meat is top-notch, they do a great freezer selection and they an amazing selection of game meats. The last time I was there I purchased some venison shanks for osso bucco. I knew I was rolling the dice as to whether my wife would eat it (which she didn't and it was her loss, believe you me) but for 8 pieces, about a pound and half, it was $6.50 so it was hard to pass up. You can easily replace the venison for veal. Needless to say but I will, the wine I served with dinner is the wine I used for the sauce. The easiest way in the world to make sure your food is paired properly.

- Season your venison shank on both sides with half the pepper and salt. Brown in the bacon fat on both sides for 5-7 minutes per side. Remove.
- Add carrot, celery and onion to the pan and sweat it off for about 2-3 minutes. Add your garlic and thyme and continue to sweat for another minute.
- Deglaze your pan with the wine. Let the wine simmer with the vegetables until it has reduced by half, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the beef stock, bring to a boil and reduce to medium heat. Reduce until it about half, another 10-15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the shank and bacon back to the pot along with the tomatoes. Using the back of a spoon break up the tomatoes.
- Put a lid on the pot and put it in the oven. Let it cook in the oven for an hour.
- Take it out of the oven, remove the lid and gently turn the shanks over. Put it back in the oven without the lid for about another 45 minutes to an hour, until the meat is falling off the bone.
- Serve by spooning the liquid over the shank.

SLOW COOKER OSSO BUCCO
Steps:
- Put the flour in a wide, shallow dish. Season the veal shanks all over with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour; shake off the excess flour. Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, and when it foams, add the shanks to the skillet. Cook until golden, turning once, about 10 minutes. Transfer the shanks to a slow cooker. Add the wine to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet and pour the contents of the skillet into the slow cooker. Add the tomatoes and their juices, chicken broth, onion, carrot, celery, and thyme. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours-the meat will be very tender and almost falling off the bone. Transfer the shanks to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Pour the sauce from the slow cooker into a large skillet. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to about 2 cups, 10 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the parsley, lemon zest, and garlic to make a gremolata. Serve the veal shanks topped with the sauce and the gremolata. nutrition information (per serving): Calories (kcal): 460; Fat (g): 19; Fat Calories (kcal): 170; Saturated Fat (g): 9; Protein (g): 46; Monounsaturated Fat (g): 7; Carbohydrates (g): 15; Polyunsaturated Fat (g): 1; Sodium (mg): 710; Cholesterol (mg): 205; Fiber (g): 1;

Steps:
- 1. Season the turkey with salt and pepper, and coat evenly with flour. Place a wide-mouthed, straight-sided pan over medium heat and add in 1/8 C olive oil. Once hot, sear the turkey on all sides until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side.
- 2. Remove turkey from pan and pour off the fat from the pan. Wipe the pan clean with paper towels and return to stove. Add the remaining T of olive oil, and once it's hot, add in the diced onions, carrots, and celery, as well as the tomato paste. Sauté, stirring occasionally until the mirepoix and tomato paste are slightly carmelized, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- 3. Deglaze the pan with the wine until nearly evaporated. Stir in the stock and add the bay leaf and thyme. Bring the stock to a boil and return the turkey to the pan. When the stock returns to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the turkey, covered, until the meat is fork tender, about 2-1/2 hours, turning the turkey halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- 4. When the legs are tender, taste the sauce and re-season if necessary.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for grass-fed beef shanks, organic vegetables, and a good quality red wine.
- Brown the shanks well: This will help to develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the shanks in a hot pan over medium-high heat.
- Use a good quality red wine: The wine will add flavor and depth to the sauce. Choose a dry red wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
- Simmer the shanks for at least 2 hours: This will allow the meat to become tender and the flavors to develop.
- Serve the osso buco over mashed potatoes or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Osso buco is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can create a memorable meal that your family and friends will love.
