Osso Buco with Mushroom Sauce
Gourmet February 1996

Gourmet - One Year Subscription

Six to eight 2-inch-thick veal shanks
(5 pounds total), each tied securely
with kitchen string to keep meat
attached to bone
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds onions, sliced thin
2 celery ribs, sliced thin
1/2 pound fresh cremini mushrooms,
tough stem ends trimmed
1/2 pound fresh shiitake mushrooms,
stems discarded
1/2 pound fresh Portobello mushrooms,
stems discarded
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/2 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 to 3/4 cup water
1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, washed
well, spun dry, and minced

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
In a heavy ovenproof kettle large enough to hold veal shanks in one layer
heat 1 tablespoon each of oil and butter over moderately high heat until
foam begins to subside and sauté onion and celery until beginning to turn golden. Pat shanks dry between paper towels and season with salt and
pepper. Arrange shanks on onion mixture and roast, covered tightly,
in middle of oven 3 hours. (Meat will give off juices as it cooks.) Shanks
may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and cooled, uncovered,
before chilling, covered. Reheat shanks before proceeding.
Cut mushrooms into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In a large skillet heat remaining
2 tablespoon each oil and butter over moderately high heat until foam begins to subside and sauté mushrooms with thyme and salt and pepper to taste,
stirring, until mushrooms begin to give off their liquid. Stir in vermouth or
wine and lemon juice and cook, stirring, until all but about 1/3 cup liquid is evaporated. Mushrooms may be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely before chilling, covered.
Transfer shanks to a platter and keep warm. Transfer onions, celery, and
pan juices to a blender with 1/2 cup water and purée until smooth, adding more water if necessary to thin sauce to desired consistency. Pour sauce
into a saucepan and stir in mushroom mixture, vinegar, and salt and pepper
to taste. Heat sauce over moderate heat until heated through and stir in parsley. Serves 6.
