Osso Buco Stuffed Poqillo Peppers
- 6 6 veal shanks
- 1 can Poqillo peppers
- 4 clove Garlic minced
- 8 oz Mirepoix 4 oz carrot and celery to 4 oz onion
- 1 as needed Veal stock
- 8 oz Red wine
- First take veal shanks and make cross hatch marks on the meat of the shank and lightly dredge each side in flour.
- Heat up a rondeau or a large pot, make sure it is not a non stick pan.
- When pan is hot enough add oil and then place veal shanks in and brown on all sides.
- When shanks are browned remove and add garlic, cook until lightly brown make sure not to burn garlic.
- Then add your mirepoix and saute for 6-8 minutes.
- Add the wine and deglaze the pan, making sure to get all the bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Then add veal stock and bring to a boil and add the veal shanks and lower to a simmer.
- Make sure you only add enough stock to cover your shanks by half way.
- Cover with lid and let it simmer for 4-4:1/2 hours.
- Make sure at the 3 and a half hour mark you check to see if the liquid level has dropped if so add equal parts veal stock and water to compensate.
- While this is cooking take your canned or fresh poquillo peppers and rinse off quickly.
- If using fresh peppers you have to roast and remove skin and seeds yourself.
- If using the can you just open, rinse off and remove all seeds.
- When veal shanks are done remove from oven, making sure the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
- Remove all meat from bones and reserve.
- Take the juice from the braise and strain it and then put it into a pot.
- Take the veal shank bones and remove the marrow from the bones and add to the liquid and reduce until it coats the back of a spoon and isn't runny, nappe consistency.
- Turn off heat from sauce and then take the meat from the shanks and shred it, add salt and pepper and dark chilli powder and paprika to taste.
- Take the shredded meat and stuff it lightly into the peppers.
- Take the sauce and reheat it and put into bowl.
- Take the peppers and plate them over risotto and drizzle the reduced sauce over the top.
- To make the risotto take a cup of arborio rice, and one onion, chicken stock and Parmesan cheese.
- Heat up a pot and add small diced onion with butter.
- Cook until tender then add rice and mix.
- Slowly add hot chicken stock 4 oz at a time and keep stirring to make sure the rice absorbs the stock.
- Add enough stock until rice is creamy yet slightly firm.
- Then add Parmesan cheese to taste and it's finished
- To finalize this dish take the risotto and put it on a plate, then take peppers and place over the risotto with some minced cilantro over the top.
- And the sauce drizzled over it
