1 kg (2.2 lb) 200 gr (7 oz) of pork shank cut into slices (osso bucco style)
3 carrots
1 large celery stalk
1 large leek white
2 tbsp of flour
olive oil
1 bay leaf
2/3 juniper berries
2 cloves
1 onion
2 shallots
2 tbsp of tomato paste
1 glass of white wine
water
3 peeled roma tomatoes cut into cubes

Step-by-step directions

Brown the pork shank pieces in olive oil.

Salt, pepper, flour, and let the flour brown by regularly turning the shank.

Then deglaze with white wine and water. The consistency should not be too liquid.

Add the aromatics, then the vegetables cut into pieces.

All that remains is to cook very gently for 1h45 to 2h00.

If needed, increase the heat at the end of cooking to reduce the sauce.

Chef Patrick's Comment

Good recipe, personally I prefer to make this recipe with vegetables sweated with the meat on the other hand the tomato paste is enough to thicken the sauce so the flour is really not necessary.
