HOW YOU KNOW
What makes it different
What a shank is
The lower leg. It is a muscle that works constantly, so it is full of connective tissue and wrapped around a bone with marrow in it. Slow cooking turns all of that into something rich.
Osso buco, with pork
The famous version uses veal. A pork shank does the same job for a fraction of the money, and arguably with more flavor.
Unsmoked, so you decide
We sell a smoked version too. This one has nothing added, which means it works in dishes where smoke would be wrong — an Italian braise, a French daube, a curry.
This is a cut that rewards doing nothing. Get it into liquid and leave it alone for three hours, and there is very little you can do to spoil it.
FROM THE FARM
We raise our hogs on pasture here in Monticello, Kentucky, and have every animal cut at a USDA-inspected plant down the road. We raise them, we have them cut, and we pack what comes back ourselves.
How to cook it
1
Season it and brown it hard on every side. This step is not optional — the color is most of the flavor in a braise.
2
Onion, carrot and garlic, then wine or stock to come two-thirds of the way up. Not covered — you are braising, not boiling.
3
Lid on, 300°F, three hours at least. Turn it once halfway if you think of it.
4
It is done when a fork goes in and twists with no resistance. Serve it with the marrow scooped out of the bone.
What you’re getting
One pork shank, unsmoked.
A smoked version is sold separately.
Raised on our farm in Monticello, Kentucky, and cut at a USDA-inspected plant.
Weights are averages. Every package is cut by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
