Osso Bucco
- 4 6-oz veal or lamb shanks (1 1/2 pounds) with all visible fat removed
- 1 small carrot, diced
- 1/2 leek, white part only, sliced
- 1 small potato diced (3/4 cup)
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups fat-free chicken stock
- 2 cups fat-free beef stock
- VEGETABLE RELISH
- 2 tablespoon chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped scallions, white part only
- 1/4 cup diced zucchini
- 1 small red pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup diced tomato
- pinch freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- GREMOLADA
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Lightly spray a large, heavy saucepan or a dutch oven with non-stick cooking spray. Place over medium-high heat until drops of water bead on surface. Cook shanks until browned on all sides. Remove shanks from the pan and set aside.
- Combine the carrot, leek, potato, black peppercorns and white wine in the same saucepan and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the stocks and bring to a boil. Put the shanks back into saucepan, cover and cook over medium-low heat until meat is fork tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Meanwhile, combine all vegetable relish ingredients in a skillet and cook over medium-low heat until tender but still firm. Set aside.
- Combine all the gremolada ingredients in a bowl, mix well, and set aside.
- Lift the shanks out of the saucepan and set aside, covered to keep warm. Strain the liquid through a strainer or colander lined with cheesecloth. Return the liquid to the pan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half.
- Serve each shank with 1/4 cup of the vegetable relish and 2 tablespoons of sauce. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon gremolada over the top of each serving.
