French Dry Rub Food

OSSO BUCCO FOR TWO

Steps:

• 4 hours before cooking or the night before rub the French Dry Rub into the shanks, both sides.
• In a large dutch oven over medium high heat add the oil and sear the shanks on both sides.
• Reduce heat to medium and add the carrots, celery, and onions and cook, as is, for 5 minutes.
• Now add the tomatoes, broth, wine and pepper and fresh herbs.
• Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes.
• When done remove shanks to individual plates along with the vegetables and over high heat quickly reduce the liquid.
• Pour this over top.
• I serve this with a Cesar Salad, Garlic Bread and roasted potatoes.
• Don't forget the wine!
