There are days that I crave the food that provides me the nostalgia that I need to make me "feel good". Osso Buco is one of those foods.

Osso Buco is comfort food to me. Growing up in our home and whenever my Mom prepared this dish, she would call my brothers and I and taught us how to make it. Then she made sure that we knew how to cook it by requiring us to take turns in cooking Osso Buco for the family.

During these days of social distancing, you can be sure that Osso Buco was a dish that I prepared for myself. I want to share this recipe with you today.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef Shank
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 ribs celery, chopped
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 4 segments garlic, crushed
• salt, pepper
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup red or white wine
• 2 cups water or broth

Directions

1. season both sides of the meat with male amounts of salt and pepper.

2. In a heavy skillet, heat the olive oil to hot. Brown the meat n both sides. Remove the meat from the pan and set the meat aside in a holding plate.

3. In the same pot, add the onions, celery, and carrots. Stir and cover the pot to cook vegetables about 3 minutes.

4. Add tomato paste and stir to mix well with vegetables. Continue cooking the vegetables for another 3 minutes.

5. Add the wine, stir the mixture and continue cooking for another minute to for all the flavors to develop.

6. Return meat to pan. Add water or broth to the pot enough to cover the meat.

7. Put the lid back on the pot. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to simmer. Cover, and cook for 1-1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.

8. Serve hot with risotto, or mashed potatoes, or steamed rice.

My friends love this dish and they always ask me what the secret is. Well, the secret is braising the beef shanks in white wine, Mirepoix, and tomato paste that turns the meat perfectly falling apart tender and so full of flavor.

I hope that you will give it a try. And when you do, please let me know how it turns out!

😍ENJOY!😍
