Ingredients

6 thick-cut pork shank sections (2-3 inches thick)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp butter

1 large yellow onion, diced

2 ribs celery, diced

1 large carrot, diced

1 tsp kosher salt

1/4 cup tomato paste

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 cup white wine

1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp dried rosemary

1/8 tsp ground cloves

2 cups chicken broth

1 tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 tbsp freshly grated lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork shank with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a heavy pot, heat olive oil and butter over high heat. Sear the pork shanks until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, cook and stir the onion, celery, carrot, and salt over medium heat until the onion turns translucent. Add the tomato paste and cook until it caramelizes, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 2 minutes. Pour in the wine, increase the heat to medium-high, and simmer until the sauce reduces slightly.

Step 4

Add the bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, and cloves. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return the pork shanks to the pot along with any accumulated juices. Cover and cook at a very low simmer until the meat is fork-tender, about 3-3 1/2 hours.

Step 5

Serve the pork shanks with plenty of sauce, garnished with parsley and lemon zest.
