Osso Buco Method:

Preheat oven to 300° and season pork shanks with salt and pepper

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat on stove top. Brown pork shanks on all sides, remove from pan and set aside

Heat a large Dutch oven over medium high heat on stove top. Add bacon, cook to render fat and when bacon begins to brown, add onions and fennel. After a minute or so add garlic and continue to cook until onions are translucent. Add the wine, sherry, honey, vinegar, Worcestershire and cook until reduced by half. Next add the broth, tomatoes, oranges, chilies and a few pinches of salt. Then add the pork shanks. The liquid should just cover the pork shanks, if not add more chicken broth. Bring pot to boil, cover Dutch oven and place in preheated oven. Braise until meat is very tender, about an hour and 45 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven and carefully remove shanks with tongs, being gentle not to remove any meat. Place shanks on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm until serving.

Strain the solids from liquids from the Dutch oven and reserve. Next simmer the liquid until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15-20 minutes

Cheesy Polenta Method:

Add water, cream, milk and salt to pot and bring to boil over high heat on stovetop.

Once boiling reduce heat to low and whisk In polenta. Continue to cook for 15 minutes on low whisking occasionally until polenta thickens. Remove from heat once thickened and then fold in Parmesan cheese

To serve, scoop polenta in center of plate, followed by a scoop of reserved vegetables. Then rest a pork shank on top, add sauce, generously, and enjoy!
