Bob’s Osso Buco Stew

I call this Bob’s Osso Buco Stew as it is not Osso Bucco in the truest sense as you do not have a veal shank per person.  This recipe uses only one veal shank to keep the cost down, but keeps the flavor and the intent.  Serves 4

1 Veal Shank

1 1/2 Pounds veal or beef stew ( or you can combine )

1 Tbsp Lemon Juice

1/2 cup dry red wine

Olive Oil

Flour

1 Carrot

1 Medium Onion

2 Celery Stalks

3 Garlic Cloves

2 Bay Leaves

1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

2 Ounces Tomato Paste

1 Cup Chicken Stock ( I use low sodium )

2 Cups Water

2 Tbsp Italian Parsley

Add some salt and black pepper to flour and dredge all the meat.  Put the carrots, celery, onion and garlic in a food processor and chop very fine.  Coat the bottom of a ceramic pot with olive oil and add the vegetables.  Cook for about 5 mins on medium while stirring.  Add the meat and brown on all sides.  

Add the lemon juice and wine cook for 2 minute.  Add the chicken stock, bay leaf and worcestershire sauce.  Cook for 2 minutes.  Add tomato paste and enough water to cover meat.  

Cook covered for 60 minutes.  Stir occasionally, add water if needed.  Uncover and cook until tender and the sauce is reduced.  

I serve over risotto made with saffron and 1/2 water 1/2 chicken stock.  If there are left overs I shred the meat in the sauce and serve mixed with ziti.
