• totale tijd: 3 hours 45 minutes

Ingrediënten

4 – 6 pork shanks

Salt & pepper

1 medium onion (chopped, about 1 cup)

2 celery stalks (chopped, about 1/2 cup)

2 carrots (chopped, about 1/2 cup)

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 cup white wine

Instructies

Season the shanks with salt & pepper. Brown the shanks until golden and crispy. Remove from pan.

Add olive oil, onion, celery, carrots and a pinch of salt. Sauté stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent and vegetables have softened – about 5 minutes.

Add wine and tomato paste, deglazing the pan. Add the chicken broth and return the pork shanks to the pan.

Cover and bring to a low boil, then immediately reduce the heat to love and simmer for 3 – 3.5 hours. Remove lid for the final 20 – 30 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Discard the bay leaf and herb stems, and garnish with lemon zest and fresh parsley before serving.
