Categories: Pork, Citrus, Herbs, Pasta, Wine
     Yield: 2 servings

     2 sl (200 g ea) osso buco pork
          - leg
   150 g  Orzo pasta
     5    Strands saffron
       pn Mixed peppercorns; crushed
     1 md Banana shallot; diced
     4 cl Garlic; mashed into a paste
   200 ml Red wine
   350 ml Beef stock
     2 tb Tomato passata or puree
          Sea salt
     1    Bay leaf
     1    Carrot; diced in small
          - pieces
     1    Rib celery; fine sliced
   100 g  Feta cheese; grated
   100 g  Unsalted butter
       sm Handful of thyme leaves
    50 g  Plain flour

MMMMM-------------------------GREMOLATA------------------------------
       sm Handful of chives
       sm Handful of parsley
          Zest of 1 tangerine

 Sear the osso buco slices on all sides until nicely
 browned over a high heat. Set aside somewhere warm

 Lower the heat and add 50g of butter to the pan. Once
 melted, add your shallot, 3/4 of the crushed garlic,
 carrot, celery, thyme and crushed peppercorns and sweat
 nice and slow for around 10 minutes (the longer, the
 better)

 Add the flour and cook out for a few more minutes (keep
 stirring)

 Deglaze with the red wine and reduce the liquid by half
 over high heat

 Add beef stock, tomato and saffron before re-inserting
 the osso buco in the pan.

 Close with a lid or cover with foil and insert into a
 preheated oven (140°C, gas mark 1 or 2) You may need to
 turn the meat around once, halfway through out

 While that's slow cooking (around 1 hour and 30 minutes)
 until the meat easily pulls away from the bone, make the
 gremolata

 Chiffonade (finely chop) the chives and parsley and mix
 together the zest. You want around 2:1 ratio for the
 herbs and zest or it will be too intense.

 Add the rest of the crushed garlic, a pinch of salt and
 crushed pepper and set aside
 Cook the orzo pasta according to instructions on the
 packet around 10 minutes before you think the meat will
 be ready.

 When the meat is ready, take the slices out to rest for
 a few minutes somewhere warm. Pass the liquid of the pan
 through a fine chinois and judging by how thick it is
 either reduce it until right consistency for a pasta
 sauce or use right away by tossing the orzo through it.
 Add the remaining butter until emulsified with the sauce

 To plate, spoon enough pasta at the bottom of the plate
 or bowl, place the meat on one side, arrange the
 gremolata on the other in a straight line and scatter
 grated feta all round.
