CROCK POT OSSO BUCO

Steps:

• Add first 10 ingredients to your crock pot and set on low for 6- 8 hours.
• In a large skillet add oil and put over a medium high heat. In the mean time season the ox tail well with salt and pepper then dust well in seasoned flour. Add the veal shanks to the skillet and brown on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove the shanks from the skillet and place directly into your crock pot. Lid it up and let it do its thing.
• When finished serve over white rice and enjoy.

MIKE ROY'S CROCK POT OSSO BUCO

Steps:

• In this area you generally find veal shanks cut in slices approximately 1-1/2 inches thick. About 9 of these slices will fit in a 4-quart crockery cooker.
• Dredge these shank slices in flour. Heat 1 tablespoon each of oil and butter in a skillet and brown a few shanks at a time on all sides; do not crowd slices. Add additional oil and butter as needed throughout browning process. Do not omit this step of browning the shanks -- this develops a much better flavor for the osso buco dish.
• Remove shanks to crock pot as browning is completed. When all shanks are browned, pour remaining ingredients into the skillet and stir to blend and to loosen the browned bits that remain.
• Pour this mixture over the meat. Cover and cook 7 to 8 hours at LOW heat.
• Remove shanks from liquid, and, if the sauce is too thin, boil to reduce it. Or thicken it with a little roux (butter and flour mixed together). The anchovies will have melted into the sauce.
• Serve shanks on a bed of hot cooked noodles or rice topped with the sauce.
