Ingredients
For 6 people:
– Osso Bucco: 1.5 kg
– Onion: 1
– Tomatoes: 5
– Tomato Paste: 1 can
– Mushrooms: 200 g
– Green Olives: 1 can
– Black Olives: 1 can
– Bay Leaf: 1
– White Wine: ½ glass
– Olive Oil: as needed
– Salt: to taste
– Pepper: to taste
– Flour: for dusting
– Butter: a knob
Preparation Steps
1. Tomato and Mushroom Preparation
Start by boiling water in a pot and blanch each tomato for 1 minute to peel them easily. Repeat this process for all tomatoes.
Clean and slice the button mushrooms into halves or quarters depending on their size. In another pot, boil water and cook the mushrooms for 10 minutes, then drain and set them aside.
2. Preparing the Osso Bucco
Heat oil and a knob of butter in a large pot. Dredge the pieces of Osso Bucco in flour and brown them in the oil and butter mixture. Season with salt and pepper, turn the meat to brown on all sides, then remove from the pot and set aside.
3. Sauce Preparation
In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion until golden. Add the quartered tomatoes and cover the pot to let them melt down. If the tomatoes don’t release enough juice, add in the can of tomato paste. Feel free to add some water to prevent the onions from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
4. Final Touches
Once the tomatoes have melted down, remove the lid and pour in half a glass of white wine. Season again with salt and pepper. Add the bay leaf and mix in both green and black olives.
5. Adding Mushrooms
Incorporate the pre-cooked mushrooms.
Cooking Finale
Return the browned Osso Bucco pieces to the pot, cover, and simmer over medium heat for 1 hour.
