2. Add 1 1 /
3
cups of Israeli couscous and cook, stirring until tender about
6-8 minutes. Drain and use immediately or rinse under cold water
and reserve for later use.
Pork Shanks:
1. Season the shanks well with salt and pepper.
2. Place the One Pot
TM stoneware on stovetop set to MEDIUM-LOW
heat, add the oil and heat until hot but not smoking. Add the shanks
and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
3. Pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of oil or enough to coat the
bottom of the One Pot TM stoneware. Add half of the carrots, half
of the celery, the onion and garlic and cook on stovetop over a
MEDIUM-LOW heat until the vegetables are soft but not brown,
about 5 minutes.
4. Add the tomato paste, wine, vinegar, mustard oil, chicken broth
and peppercorns and bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up any
browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Return the shanks
to the One Pot
TM stoneware and place One Pot TM stoneware in the
heating base. Cover; cook on HIGH for 2 hours, turning the shanks
every 20 minutes or so.
5. Remove the shanks, strain out all of the solids from the braising
liquid, and add in the uncooked carrot and celery. Place the shanks
back in One Pot
TM stoneware and, and transfer One Pot TM stoneware
to heating base.
6. Cover; cook on HIGH for 1 hour. Check the shanks for doneness:
remove one and place it on a plate. The meat should be very soft but
still attached to the bone.
7. To serve; add the precooked couscous to the One Pot TM stoneware
just to reheat, about 3-4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove
some of the couscous, carrot and celery and place in the bottom of a
shallow bowl. Place a pork shank on top of that and then spoon 2-3
ounces of the braising liquid into the bowl.
