there’s a pretty amusing backstory as to why i created this dish, but that’s for another day. what i will say is that it was quite fabulous. the sauce wound up taking on a life if its own, as at one point a bad flick of the wrist had rendered it nearly inedible and it needed to be somehow fixed. luckily the culinary gods were with me and i had on hand just the very thing to bring it back home with grace. honestly, this was a serious sauce… and having no formal training whatsoever, i was really pleased that not only was it saved, but it was enhanced tenfold.
veal shanks. a beautiful cut of meat. perfect for a winter’s braise. osso buco. something i love to cook that hadn’t seen rotation in awhile. i don’t use the typical ingredients so perhaps this particular treatment of the shanks can no longer be considered ‘osso buco’, translated as ‘pierced bone’. but regardless of its proper name, it was superb.
i’m avoiding the recipe format because this dish just came along on its own. i urge you to make this – and to wing it. keep tasting. then adjust. i posted about this awhile back and there you’ll find a similar recipe for reference.
flour, salt and pepper the meat and brown in olive oil. remove from the pan and set aside. add about 5 oz of finely minced pancetta until it’s rendered and browned. next add about 4 finely minced anchovies (the good ones that need to be filleted). when they melt away, next to go in is about 3 cloves of finely minced garlic. after about a minute pour about 10 oz of white wine – i used a pinot grigio – and reduce. return the veal to the pan and add veal stock (chicken will do…) about halfway up the sides of the meat.
braise for about 90 minutes, basting often. the remaining liquid was strained through a chinois and put back on the stove. i added about 3 oz (maybe more) of butter in pieces until it was glassy and coated the spoon. then i tasted. too salty. damn. DAMN. anchovies are salty little buggers and i threw in a healthy pinch of salt not long after i added them. silly girl. not good. what to do? slight panic. think, claudia, think.
i spy a bottle on the shelf under my kitchen work table. it’s port. so i grab it and add some to a small espresso cup of the sauce. EXCELLENT. then i added about 5 oz of port – incrementally – to the rest. FREAKIN UNREAL. did i just make this? yes? high five!
the polenta was made the good old fashioned way. water, salt and the polenta stirred for about 15 minutes and then left alone to do its thing. when it was done it was hit with a sizable amount of mascarpone. the brussels sprouts were simply caramelized in oil, butter and salt.
definitely rich. definitely a winter dish. wonderful nuanced home cooking, layered with great flavors.
you go girl.

Absolutely loved the movie, have a feeling I got a slightly-different set of previews. I did get The Dark Knight, which is one of the creepier trailers I’ve ever seen.Unfortunately, I got the latest Mike Myers bomb, too. It’s getting to the point that I’m expecting his career will one day create a new black hole. If he and Cuba Gooding, Jr. ever hook up, the solar system is doomed.

I precisely wished to thank you very much yet again. I’m not certain what I would’ve used in the absence of the entire concepts discussed by you concerning my field. Completely was a real troublesome setting for me, however , considering the specialised style you treated the issue made me to jump with joy. I will be happy for the guidance and even wish you are aware of a great job you were getting into instructing people all through your webpage. Most probably you’ve never come across any of us.

Great video interview, Vicki. Thanks so much for all you are doing to help educators understand the value of teaching with nonfiction that is thoroughly researched and carefully crafted. I'm currently working on a year-long project that I hope will DO even more to assist teachers in identifying high quality books and showing them how to use them as curriculum. Many iNK bloggers' titles will be included in the program.

Doug Lucas2008/08/02Tony, after your comment, I was reminded of the song, “God is God,” by Steven Curtis Chapman. You’ll recall that his family ended up suffering the loss of their beautiful 5 year old daughter, Maria. She was hit by a car in the family driveway, May 21, 2008. The car was driven by an old brother who did not see little Maria. Yikes. Can you imagine how much this song must have come to mean to that family? He wrote this immediately following the bombing of the World Trade Center, never imagining, I trust, how relevant it would become to his own life.

I think I have improved as a writer due to the blogging, so blogging definitely has its benefits. Again, it comes down to balance and for each of us balance will differ, but I think majority rules that blogging needs to take second seat to writing.

So essentially they’re using a common frame, motor and exhaust with different body work, handlebars, and suspension? I remember when I first saw these concepts, the hinged body thing was a little off putting, but it’s starting to grow on me. Could conceivably have different hinged bodies, for different rides or moods or whatever, depending on how difficult it would be to swap them out. Couple that with electronically adjustable suspension, some sort of adjustable handlebars, and the only other thing you’d have to worry about would be the rubber.I doubt that’s what they have in mind, but it’s a thought.

Love the pattern and I think it’s good sense to use it for a baby blanket because in the beginning babies see black and white colours the best. And I really like the yellow edge! Any baby would be lucky to cuddle in that softness 🙂
