Smoked Osso Buco Recipe for Fall Cooking Recipe

Project Smoke, where I used it to make smoke-braised Asian lamb shanks. I like to think of smoke as the umami of barbecue and it imbues this already amazing dish with the spirit of American barbecue.

How to Smoke Osso Buco

Despite its amazing flavors and a semi-long ingredient list, osso buco is quick and easy to make. Note I said to make. It does require 3 hours of cooking. But if you own a pellet grill, you pretty much set it and forget it. Ditto on a gas grill. A kamado grill, like a Big Green Egg, is perfect for osso buco. So is a charcoal smoker or grill, although with both you’ll need to replenish the charcoal and wood every hour.

As you look at the following photos, you may be surprised to find aluminum foil wrapped around the pot. That’s to keep the smoke off the outside. (If the truth be told, it’s pretty easy for you to clean the pot with a blast of oven cleaner.)
