Ossobuco beef in ragout

Ingredients

- Ossobuco, 370 g (4 units.)

- Salt and ground white pepper

- Flour (2 teaspoons)

- Sweet paprika (1 teaspoon)

- Olive oil (80 ml)

- Shallots (120 g)

- Diced carrots (150 g)

- Crushed ripe tomatoes (170 ml)

- Cinnamon stick (1 unit.)

- Herbs de Provence / Chicken broth (1.2 l. approx.)

Method

Season the meat with salt and pepper, mix the flour with the paprika and coat the osso buco. In a casserole dish, heat the oil and brown the meat on both sides. Remove the meat then add the chopped shallot to the same casserole, sauté, add the carrot and garlic, cook for a few minutes before adding the sliced mushrooms, dried mushrooms and crushed tomatoes, then reduce the tomato mix. Add the wine and reduce by half, add the cinnamon, orange and lemon peel. Cook for a few minutes before adding the herbs, then add the osso buco and cover with the chicken broth or, failing that, dark beef broth. Cook covered and over a low heat for about 2 hours. Remove the meat and, while warm, break it up and place in round moulds, with the bone in the centre to imitate the osso buco. Strain the sauce and heat, adjusting the seasoning and texture to taste.
