Ingredients:

1/2   cup           extra-virgin olive oil
2     tablespoons   extra-virgin olive oil
1/4   cup           tomato paste
6     pieces        osso buco -  (2" ea)
                    = (specific cut of veal shank)
2/3   cup           Sicilian olives (the green variety)
4     tablespoons   capers
4                   peperoncini (marinated red peppers)
                    and chopped
                    = (or sub roasted red peppers)
3     large         ripe red tomatoes
                    and roughly chopped
1     teaspoon      dried oregano leaves
1     tablespoon    sugar
2     cups          Marsala
                    Salt
                    Freshly-ground black pepper

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil. When hot, but not smoking, add the osso buco and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Transfer the shanks to a covered, heavy baking dish just large enough to hold the shanks comfortably. Set aside.
In the same pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the olives, capers, peppers, tomatoes, oregano, and sugar.
Deglaze with the Marsala. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a teaspoonful or 2 of water.
Spoon equal amounts of the sauce over each shank. Cover and cook until the veal is very tender, about 45 minutes.
This recipe yields 6 servings.
