Stinco di Maile

Ingredients

• 2 pork shanks, or shins
• Lard
• 1/2 medium Spanish onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 1 rib celery, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 medium carrot, chopped into 1/4-inch coins
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 sprig rosemary
• 6 juniper berries
• 1 clove
• 2 cups dry white wine
• 1 cup veal stock

Directions

Rinse and dry shanks and remove hairs and hard skin and season with salt and pepper. In a heavy bottom Dutch oven, heat lard over medium heat and place shanks in pan. Sear until dark golden brown on all sides and remove. Add onion, celery, carrot, garlic, rosemary, juniper, and clove and cook until just softening, 4 to 5 minutes. Place shanks back into pan onto vegetables. Add wine and stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover. Cook for 1 hour and 45 minutes, turning every half hour. Meat will be falling off bone. Carve into large chunks and serve with blaukraut.
