Procedures

Step One

Preheat Oven to 325 degrees.

Step Two

Cook pancetta in a Dutch oven until browned.  Remove and set aside.

Step Three

While the pancetta is cooking, dust the shanks with flour seasoned with half of the Italian Lemon Pepper Seasoning.

Step Four

Add the celery, onion, and carrot to pan. Sauté in the pancetta drippings, about three minutes.  Remove from pan. 

Step Five

Brown the shanks on both sides (you may add a little extra olive oil if needed).

Step Six

Add the vegetables and ¼ of the pancetta back to the pan with the shanks, along with the thyme, rosemary, and white wine.  Deglaze slightly, and then add in both types of stocks, the garlic, and the rest of the seasoning.

Step Seven

Cover Dutch oven with lid, transfer to oven, and back for 2/1/2 – 3 hours until shanks are tender. Add in reserved pancetta before serving.
