Italian Pork Ossobuco

I couldn't find very much information about the origins of this wonderful Italian Milano dish, ossobuco, other than it translates to bone with a hole, which refers to the cross section leg bone in the centre of this collagen packed shank. In the centre of the bone is delicious bone marrow which most people relish when they eat this tender fall off the bone meat. I know it origins are from Milan but I have no idea how old the recipe is, sorry.

Browned and then braised with red wine, tomato and sofrito (celery, onion and carrot), the flavour from the marrow as it slowly cooks makes the braise irresistible, in this recipe I serve this pork shank with soft creamy polenta and gremolata, which for me is the perfect garnish.

I do hope you will give ossobuco a try, if you can get veal shanks from your butcher then those are preferable but in the UK veal is not so popular so these small pork shanks are a fine alternative.
