- Convection Baked Eggplant Lentil Stew with Pomegranate Molasses
This delicious vegetable stew includes eggplant, lentils, tomatoes, Anaheim chilies, mint, and lentils, slowly cooked with a generous glug of olive oil and pomegranate molasses. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Convection Baked Eggplant Lentil Stew with Pomegranate Molasses Convection, Convection Bake Mode Eggplant Lentil Stew with Pomegranate Molasses This delicious vegetable stew includes eggplant, lentils, tomatoes, Anaheim chilies, mint, and lentils, slowly cooked with a generous glug of olive oil and pomegranate molasses. Exceptional results are achieved by baking the stew in a covered pan in Convection, as the circulating heated air ensures no evaporation of liquids, allowing the vegetables to simply melt. The preparation is extremely simple, as the raw vegetables are mixed with the seasoning and layered into the pan with the cooked lentils and sliced eggplant. The lentils can be steamed in the steam oven or cooked with water in a covered pan for 20 - 25 minutes until softened. The original recipe specified cooking the stew in a small heavy saucepan; however, if you don't have a suitable oven-safe saucepan, it can be baked in a tightly covered small casserole or souffle dish. Pomegranate molasses can be found at a Middle Eastern grocery store or ordered online. It can also be added to marinades, salad dressings, cocktails, or desserts. Recipe Ingredients INGREDIENTS 1 large narrow eggplant ½ cup dry lentils, rinsed Water for cooking the lentils 1 medium onion, chopped into ½" dice 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 ripe tomatoes, chopped 1 Anaheim or another long green chile, cut into ½" dice 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped 1 tbsp tomato paste ¼ tsp dried chili flakes ¾ cup olive oil ¼ cup pomegranate molasses PREPARATION Peel a few strips from the eggplant so it has lengthwise stripes. Cut the eggplant into 1⁄2" thick slices and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Score a crosshatch pattern into each slice and sprinkle the slices evenly with kosher salt. Set aside 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse and pat dry before using. Place the lentils in a small pan and cover with about 2" of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until tender. Alternatively, steam the lentils in the Steam oven using the steam mode. Heat the oven in the Convection or Convection Bake mode to 325 F. Combine the onion, garlic, tomatoes, green chilies, mint, tomato paste, and chili flakes in a bowl. Add a teaspoon of salt and some freshly cracked pepper. Lightly oil the saucepan or baking dish, then spread a large scoop of the vegetable mixture on the bottom of the pan. Arrange half the eggplant slices over the vegetables and top with half of the lentils. Continue layering to use all the vegetables and lentils. Pour the olive oil over the vegetables, then drizzle with the pomegranate molasses. Cover the pan and bake for 50 minutes to one hour until the vegetables have completely softened.

- Slow Roasted Chicken Wings
One way to achieve great results when roasting chicken wings is to first cook the meat at a low temperature then finish cooking it on high heat. This ensures tender and juicy meat. Anchor 1 YOUR RECIPE FOR STEAM COOKING Slow Roasted Chicken Wings Low Temperature Roasting Mode Steam-roasted chicken wings paired with vibrant steamed asparagus and radishes, highlighting the art of steam cooking. One way to achieve great results when roasting is to first cook the meat at a low temperature then finish cooking it on high heat. This method ensures the meat is tender and juicy but also has a nice crisp crust. Chicken wings cooked this way will not have the same crispness as fried chicken wings but they will be delicious nonetheless. The wings can be cooked at a low temperature in either a Combi steam oven or a Convection oven for approximately 30 minutes. After this initial cooking the oven mode and temperature are changed and the cooking is finished at high heat to crisp the skin. If necessary a few minutes under the broiler adds the final flourish. If using a sauce with sugar you will achieve good results by tossing the cooked wings in the sauce at the end of cooking rather than broiling them with the sauce as any sugar in the sauce will burn during the broil process. A couple of simple to prepare salads make a great accompaniment for these wings. INGREDIENTS 16 chicken wings, cut into 2 sections 1 tbsp Five Spice powder 1 tsp granulated garlic 8 tbsp butter melted, divided Finishing Sauce ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce 2 tbsp honey 1 tbsp sesame oil Steamed Snap Pea and Asparagus Salad with Radish 2 - cups snap peas, strings removed 1 - bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into into thirds 4 - medium sized radishes, halved and cut into ½” thick slices ¼ - cup vegetable oil 2 - tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar 2 - tbsp chopped fresh mint PREPARATION Steam Oven Method If your oven has a Slow Cooking or Low Temperature Cooking mode, select this mode OR select the Convection steam mode 200 degrees. Convection Oven Method If using a Convection oven, select the Convection Bake or Convection Roast mode 200 degrees. Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel and rub all over with the seasoning and kosher salt and toss with the 1/2 of the melted butter. Spread the wings onto a rimmed baking sheet and place in the heated oven and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and toss the wings with the remainder of the melted butter. Heat the Convection oven in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode to 450 degrees. Place the chicken wings in the upper third of the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the wings and toss with the sauce, return the pan to the oven for a few minutes to heat through. For additional browning or crisping change the oven mode to Broil Hi or 500 degrees and cook for 5 minutes. Finishing Sauce Combine the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 - 8 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens. Pour over the wings when they come out of the oven and turn to coat them Steamed Snap Pea and Asparagus Salad with Radish Heat the Combi steam oven in the Steam Mode 212 degrees. Place the snap peas and asparagus in the perforated pan, slide into the oven and cook for 6 - 8 minutes until the vegetables are tender but not limp. Combine the oil and vinegar, add some sea salt and freshly cracked pepper set aside and chop the mint. Cool the vegetables slightly then toss with the radishes and the prepared dressing.

- Easy Versatile Sponge Cake with Berries, Kiwi and Mascarpone Frosting
Sponge cakes are easy to whip up and fill with cream, mascarpone cheese and berries for an impressive, delicious dessert. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Easy Versatile Sponge Cake with Berries, Kiwi and Mascarpone Frosting Convection Bake Mode Explore the versatile delight of sponge cake layered with whipped cream and fresh fruits for a delicious dessert. Sponge cakes are easy to whip up and fill with cream and berries for an impressive, delicious dessert. They are basically a blank canvas that you can fill with mousse, Nutella, or syrup for added flavor and decorated with whipped cream or buttercream. You could even use these cakes as a base for Trifle. Sponge cake bake in a convection oven. Although these cakes are light as a feather, they definitely benefit from a light soaking with some liqueur, a smear of fruit syrup, or even a layer of jam. Strawberry syrup is easy to make and spread between the layers. If you don’t anticipate that the cake will be eaten in one day, serve the slices with a side of whipped cream and fresh fruit rather than decorating the entire cake with whipped cream. For the frosting, I used a combination of whipped cream, mascarpone cheese, and sugar. INGREDIENTS For the cake 6 large eggs, room temperature 1 cup (210g) granulated sugar 1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour ½ tsp baking powder For the strawberry syrup 1 cup water 1 cup granulated sugar 2 cups strawberries, hulled and quartered For the frosting 2 cups heavy cream 1 8oz container Mascarpone cheese ⅕ cup superfine sugar Ingredients for the cake and the frosting. PREPARATION Line the bottom of two 9” cake pans with parchment paper. Heat the oven in the Convection Bake mode to 325℉/162℃ Beat the eggs in an electric stand mixer fitted with a whisk on high speed for one minute. With the motor running, gradually add the sugar and continue beating for 8 - 10 minutes until the mixture is thick and fluffy. To determine if the eggs are at the right stage, make a figure 8 with the whisk, and if it sinks, keep beating for a minute or two longer. If it doesn’t sink, then continue. Whisk together the flour and baking powder, then gently sift into the egg mixture one-third at a time, folding the flour in with a spatula until it is just incorporated. Be sure to scrape from the bottom to disperse the flour evenly, taking care not to overmix, which will cause the batter to deflate. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and bake for approximately 25 minutes until golden. Allow the pans to rest for about 10 minutes, then run an offset spatula around the edge to loosen and turn onto a cooling rack. Cool the cakes in draft free area of the kitchen. Once cooled, you can decorate the cakes or wrap them in film and store them outside of the refrigerator until you are ready to decorate them. For the Strawberry Syrup Combine the water and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the strawberries, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 10 minutes until thickened. Once cooled, you can stir in a few tablespoons of liquor for added flavor. The syrup can be strained or used with the fruit. For the Frosting Beat the Mascarpone cheese and sugar on medium speed to combine. Pour in the whipping cream and beat until stiff peaks form. The frosting can be used between the layers and spread over the cake.

- Broiled Salmon with Honey Mustard Glaze
This spicy subtly sweet smear makes a terrific easy sauce for a broiled salmon with honey mustard glaze, served with steamed vegetables. A quick and easy meal YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Broiled Salmon with Honey Mustard Glaze Convection Broil Mode This spicy subtly sweet smear makes a terrific easy sauce for salmon, served with a side of steamed vegetables it’s a flavorful easy meal. Atlantic salmon with a higher fat content works best for broiling however a leaner salmon will also work with reduced broiling time. Many ovens require only a five minute pre-heat when using the Broil Mode and remember to always broil with the oven door closed. A seared salmon fillet on sautéed spinach, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges on a white plate. INGREDIENTS 1 - filet of salmon with or without skin ¼ - cup Whole Grain Dijon mustard ¼ - cup honey 2 - tablespoons creamed horseradish PREPARATION Combine the mustard, honey and horseradish together and chill for a few minutes to make it easier to spread without sliding off the fish. Place the oven rack on the 2nd rack from the top and preheat the oven in the Convection Broil Mode to High or 480 degrees.

Place the salmon on the pan and spread the smear evenly over the salmon. Broil for 6 - 8 minutes until the glaze begins to change color. If the salmon fillet is quite thick then move the tray to a lower rack away from the intense heat in the top of the oven and leave it in the oven for another few minutes till firm to the touch in the thickest part.

- Spanish Potato Omelet (Tortilla de patatas)
This Spanish potato omelet with red onion, green onions, eggs and spices baked in a convection oven is the easiest method to prepare this this. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Spanish Potato Omelet (Tortilla de patatas) Convection or Convection Bake Mode Spanish Potato Omelet or Tortilla de patatas You will find many recipes online with different methods for making a Spanish Potato Omelet (Tortilla de Patatas), but cooking it in a convection oven has to be the easiest. Traditionally, you fry the potatoes, and when you cook the tortilla, you need to flip it. With the convection method, you can eliminate these steps and achieve great results. One of the tricks is that you heat a cast iron pan to the smoke point. This gives the tortilla that beautiful brown color and prevents it from sticking to the pan. I promise you won't go back once you try this method! This recipe makes a [8-12] serving omelet. INGREDIENTS 9 large eggs (or ten small one) 1 medium red onion 4 medium to large potatoes Salt Pepper 1 green onion Seasoning blend (optional) Recipe ingredients PREPARATION Heat the oven to 400°F in the Convection or Convection Bake mode. Peel and cut the onion into ¼ inch slices. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet and toss them with olive oil. Peel and cut the potatoes into ½ inch slices and toss them with salt and pepper in olive oil. Place the onions in the oven and set the timer for 5 minutes. After this initial 5 minutes, add the potatoes to the pan and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes or more. Reduce the oven temperature to 330 F. Beat the eggs with salt, pepper, and your preferred seasoning blend and stir in the sliced green onion. I find a dry garlic seasoning blend, adds great flavor. Add the cooled potatoes and onions to the egg mix. Combine well and set aside. Heat 10 - 12" cast iron pan on medium heat to the smoking point. This step is important as it helps to prevent the omelet from sticking to the pan. Brush the pan's interior, including the sides, with 1.5 tablespoons of oil. Pour the egg and potato mix into the hot pan and immediately place it in the oven the oven. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes until set. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and immediately turn the tortilla out of the pan to prevent the residual heat from the pan overcooking the tortilla.

- Cooking Chicken Breast Tips
Convection is a great choice for cooking lean cuts of meat such as chicken breast because convection circulates heated air around the oven preserving the natural moisture in food. Cooking Chicken Breast Tips For Perfect Results White chicken meat is a great lean protein and easy to incorporate into a recipe; however, the trick is in cooking lean chicken without it drying out. Personally I was never a fan until I began cooking chicken breasts in convection and now I can honestly say I really enjoy adding tender convection baked white chicken meat to salads, grain bowls, sandwiches and a variety of other dishes. TEMPERATURE AND TIMING ARE KEY TO SUCCESS Convection is a great choice for cooking lean cuts of meat because convection circulates heated air around the oven cooking food from the edge to the center preserving the natural moisture in food. Temperature is another factor that will influence the results, if the oven temperature is too high that circulating air will cook the edges before the center is cooked through, so moderate temperatures are the best. Also, if the chicken is thicker at one end it is worth taking the time to try to even out the shape for more even cooking. Another factor is time, obviously the cooking time will depend on the weight of the food and the shape of the meat. Remember meat does continue cooking when removed from the oven so reducing the cooking time by 5 minutes can make all the difference. BONE IN OR BONELESS My preference is always for cooking bone in skin-on chicken breasts, as they retain more moisture when cooked on the bone and the meat is easy to remove from the bone to slice into serving potions. Best of all you can make a nice bit of stock with the bones. Either a dry rub or a wet marinade can be used for added flavor. Boneless skinless chicken breasts definitely benefit from a wet marinade for added flavor and texture. They won’t pick up much color however you can always add a touch of added heat from the broiler if needed. Learn how to roast a chicken in Convection A perfectly roasted chicken, golden and crispy, showcases the benefits of convection cooking. BEST CONVECTION MODE TO CHOOSE The Convection mode you choose will depend on the modes your oven features. Convection or Convection Bake are good options for chicken breasts with a moderate temperature of 325 - 335 degrees. The Convection Roast mode uses more concentrated heat from the top heating element which can be a little powerful for lean meats. If you want to add additional browning then I recommend increasing the temperature and maybe changing the mode to Convection Broil for a short time at the end of the cooking time. RESTING TIME IS IMPORTANT Be sure to factor in the resting time before slicing the chicken especially when cooking larger bone in pieces. You can see how juicy the chicken is as I slice it and you can see how tender the meat is. Overcooked meat has a more dense fibrous texture making it unpleasant to chew. So follow these tips and enjoy succulent juicy chicken every time by cooking in Convection.

- Eggs Florentine with Mushroom Sauce
Wilt the spinach, then cook the mushrooms and make the sauce using the microwave mode. Then I will crack some eggs into the sauce and bake the casserole in the combination convection + microwave speed mode. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Eggs Florentine with Mushroom Sauce Convection Microwave A savory brunch casserole with baked eggs and sautéed mushrooms, served with fresh strawberries and English muffins. I wan to show you how to prepare a delicious breakfast casserole in record time using a combination Convection + Microwave oven also known as a Speed oven. Appliances nowadays have multiple functions designed to benefit our cooking and in this recipe, I will use several functions in my Convection Microwave Speed oven. To begin with, I will wilt the spinach, then cook the mushrooms and make the mushroom sauce using the microwave mode, then once the ingredients are assembled I will crack some eggs into the sauce and bake the casserole in the combination convection + microwave speed mode. INGREDIENTS 2 English muffins, split and cut into 1” pieces 1 cup shredded cheese, Italian blend, or cheddar 1 cup chopped fresh spinach leaves, mixed with a little butter and garlic powder ½ lb. mushrooms, stems removed and cut into thick slices 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp all-purpose flour ¾ cup milk PREPARATION Grease a 9” round glass pie dish and scatter the cubed English muffins over the bottom. Combine the spinach with a small pat of butter and a sprinkle of garlic powder in a microwave-safe container, cover, and cook for 1 - 2 minutes in microwave mode until wilted. Remove and set aside. Combine the mushrooms with the butter and seasoning in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, cover, and cook for 3 - 4 minutes in microwave mode until the mushrooms soften. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked mushrooms and stir. Cover and cook for one minute. Pour in the milk and stir, cover, and cook in microwave mode until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens, taste the sauce and add salt and pepper as needed. Don’t worry if the sauce is slightly runny, it will firm up during the final cooking stage. Assemble the casserole: Heat the oven in the Convection mode to 350℉ (180℃). Scatter the cheese over the muffins and top with the wilted spinach. Pour the mushroom sauce over the mixture and make 4 - 6 indentations in the sauce using the back of a large spoon. Crack an egg into each indentation and place the dish uncovered into the oven. Add the Microwave function and set the timer for 8 minutes. Serves: 4 - 6 Note: Use the microwave power recommended for your model for cooking the spinach and mushrooms. If your oven has a set combination mode for cooking use that or if you have the option to combine a specific amount of microwave power add 180 watts.

- Easy to Prepare Baked Lamb Kofta and Roasted Cauliflower
Lamb kofta baked together with a medley of cauliflower and peppers is an easy-to-prepare, quick-cooking meal. Served with a crisp salad, some fresh pita bread, and tzatziki sauce, this easy meal has the appeal of great flavor and textures. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Easy to Prepare Baked Lamb Kofta and Roasted Cauliflower Convection Roast or Convection Bake Mode This convection meal is a breeze to prepare, with roasted cauliflower, vibrant peppers, and savory meatballs ready in no time! Lamb kofta baked together with a medley of cauliflower and peppers is an easy-to-prepare, quick-cooking meal. Served with a crisp salad, some fresh pita bread, and tzatziki sauce, this easy meal has the appeal of great flavor and textures. Once the seasonings are added to the ground lamb, it only takes a few minutes to roll them into meatballs or the more traditional cigar shape. The kofta is loaded with flavor, so I find it’s best not to add too much spice to the vegetables, so I keep them simple. Also, I recommend roasting the vegetables and kofta on separate trays so the vegetables can achieve a nice crisp finish. INGREDIENTS For the kofta: 1lb (500 g) ground lamb 1 small yellow onion, grated 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced 2 tbsp chopped cilantro 2 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp paprika 2 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp kosher salt ½ tsp cayenne pepper ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs For the cauliflower: 1 head cauliflower, quartered, core removed, each quarter cut into ½” thick slices 1 red pepper, seeds and thick membrane removed, cut into ½” thick strips 1 yellow pepper, prepared as noted above ½ red onion, cut into ¼” slices ½ tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning 2 tbsp olive oil Recipe ingredients. PREPARATION Heat the oven in the Convection Roast or Convection Bake mode to 400°F/205°C. Combine the ground lamb with the seasonings and breadcrumbs, and roll it into cylinders or meatballs. Arrange them on a parchment—or foil-lined shallow baking tray. Combine the vegetables with the olive oil and seasoning and spread onto another shallow baking tray. Efficient cooking: Roasted cauliflower and bell peppers alongside meatballs, ready to be baked simultaneously for a quick and flavorful meal. Place the tray with the vegetables on the lower rack in the oven and slide the tray with the kofta in on the upper rack. Set the timer for 20 minutes.

- Pork Sausage and Poultry Meat Pie
Golden and flaky on the outside with layers of succulent meat and savory flavors within, this delicious pie is a feast for both the eyes and the palate, perfectly paired with a fresh, crisp salad. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 Pork Sausage and Poultry Meat Pie Convection Bake Mode Golden, decorative meat pie served alongside fresh salad and mustard. A meat pie is an impressive dish that's easier to make than you might think. The key is a hot-water butter crust that comes together in minutes with just four ingredients. For best results, I recommend baking this pie in a convection oven, as it yields a more moist meat filling than a conventional oven. You can prepare the pie filling a day in advance to maximize its flavor. While traditional meat pies don't include vegetables, I like to add leeks and oyster mushrooms. If you use vegetables like mushrooms, roast them first for better flavor and to reduce excess moisture during baking. The gelatin added to the mix will take care of that, so roasting the veggies is optional. Traditionally, gelatin is added after the pie is baked, but I simplify the process by adding it before baking. This will help condense the fluids as the pie cools. You will need a 14 by 24 cm (5.5 by 9.5 inch) pan, and placing parchment paper in the mold is highly recommended for easy unmolding. INGREDIENTS For the filling: 1 lb of pork sausage meat 1.5 lbs of poultry meat 4 grams agar agar or 2 envelopes of gelatin 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 1 leek stem 200 grams / 7 oz oyster mushrooms 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 cup of soy sauce 1 twig of rosemary 1 twig of sage or 1.5 teaspoons dried sage 5 twigs of thyme 2 fresh cloves of garlic Fresh pepper Filling ingredients. For the crust: 400 grams (about 2 cups) of flour 175 ml (3/4 cup) hot water 113 grams (8 tablespoons) of butter 1.5 teaspoons of salt 1 egg for egg washing PREPATION First, cut the poultry meat into small 1/2 inch pieces. Place both the poultry and sausage in a large bowl. Add the leeks and mushrooms. I roasted the mushrooms and leeks for 25 minutes to add flavor, but you can skip this step. Finely chop all the spices and add them to the meat. Also, add the agar agar or gelatin, salt, and soy sauce. Mix well and set aside. To prepare the crust, heat the water and the butter in a small saucepan. Heat until the water is about to boil, then let the butter melt completely. Add the hot liquid to the flour and mix well with a wooden spoon. Once the dough is cool enough to handle, knead by hand until smooth and uniform. The dough should be soft and warm at this stage. Cut off two-thirds of the dough and shape it into a long roll. Roll it out with a rolling pin to form a rectangle large enough to cover all sides of the pan. Line the long side of the pan with a sheet of parchment paper that extends beyond the pan so you can lift the pie out after baking. Use a strip of parchment to line the narrow side of the pan as well. Carefully place the rolled-out dough in the pan. Make sure it does not break or have holes. If you accidentally make a hole, repair it in the dough. Stretch it to cover all the corners. Pastry dough neatly lined in a rectangular baking tin, ready for the filling. Add the meat mixture to the pan in layers, pressing each layer firmly to remove any air pockets. Repeat until the pan is full. Now roll out the top crust. Make two holes in the crust to vent steam during baking. This helps prevent the crust from becoming soggy. Use the egg wash to paint the top edges of the dough base (the part that is already in the pan). Place the cover and press gently on the edges. Make sure there are no air pockets. With a knife, cut the excess dough. Crimp the edges or leave them as is. You might also like to decorate the top of the pie or just leave it as is. Before you bake it, apply the egg wash. Bake in a preheated oven in the convection-bake mode to 380°F / 190 °C, or in a regular oven to 400°F, for 20 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350°F / 180°C and bake for about 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 150°F / 66 °C. Let the pie cool in the pan for about 3 hours before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly. It makes 8 slices. Golden and flaky on the outside with layers of succulent meat and savory flavors within, this delicious pie is a feast for both the eyes and the palate, perfectly paired with a fresh, crisp salad.

- The Simplest and Most Delicious Way to Prepare Beef Shank Osso Buco
"Osso buco," literally “a bone with a hole,” is a wonderful Italian dish typically made with veal shanks. The hole in the bone of the veal or beef shank is filled with delicious bone marrow, which adds amazing flavor. YOUR RECIPE FOR CONVECTION COOKING! Anchor 1 The Simplest and Most Delicious Way to Prepare Beef Shank Osso Buco Convection or Convection Bake Mode "Osso Buco," literally “a bone with a hole,” is a wonderful Italian dish typically made with veal shanks. The hole in the bone of the veal or beef shank is filled with delicious bone marrow, which adds amazing flavor to this slowly cooked dish and is a wonderful treat to scoop out and savor. Veal is not readily available in all markets; however, this dish can also be made with beef shanks, which are more easily found. The recipe I use is a traditional Milanese recipe that requires only butter, white wine, chicken stock, and tomatoes. The key is to serve this simple braise with Gremolata, that flavorful mixture of chopped fresh parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. First the shanks are browned on the cooktop in a wide, shallow, oven-safe pan. Once browned, the wine is added and reduced; then the tomatoes are added, and after a further reduction, the stock is added; the dish is covered and placed in the oven for 1 ½ - 2 hours. It’s such a simple preparation but so flavorful. Using convection does not reduce the cooking time. However, the circulating convection heat is ideal for maintaining a consistent level of heat in the pan, and you can also cook another dish at the same time if needed. Osso Buco is typically served with Risotto Milanese, which can also be cooked in a covered pan or uncovered in a steam oven. Recipe ingredients. INGREDIENTS 4 pieces beef or veal shank about 1” thick 3 oz unsalted butter ½ cup dry white wine ½ cup chicken stock 1 28-oz can of whole peeled tomatoes For the Gremolata ¼ cup Italian parsley, finely chopped 1 large clove garlic, finely minced 1 lemon zest only PREPARATION Heat the oven in the Convection or Convection Bake mode to 325 F/ 160 C. Heat a wide, shallow oven-safe pan with a tight-fitting lid over moderate heat. Add the butter, and when sizzling, place the shanks into the pan. Cook over moderate heat until evenly browned, then gently turn the shanks over and brown the other side. Handle the shanks gently to avoid the marrow falling out of the bone. Once both sides are browned, add the wine to the pan, lower the heat, and reduce for 8 - 10 minutes. Osso Buco sizzling in the pan, ready for the rest of ingredients. Add the tomatoes, crushing them in your fingers as you add them to the pan. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes over medium heat until they reduce slightly, then add the stock. Cover the pan and place it in the oven. Cook for 1 ½ - 2 hours until the meat is tender and ready to fall off the bone. Meanwhile, combine the finely minced parsley, garlic, and lemon zest and set aside. Serve the Osso Buco over risotto or polenta with a generous garnish of the Gremolata.
