    I love braised pork shanks, I do this in a Osso Bucco styling with a red marinara using a slow cooker. Tons of flavor, 4 hours to cook, the red sauce is robust, serve over angel hair pasta. Fresh graded parm and pecorino Romano. Oh yes. Will do this with veal shanks as well for the wife and I.

    Hmmm.. Interesting thought. If the tough cuts have all the flavor, and the tenderer cuts have the texture, would it not make sense to slow cook the tough cuts for a few hours, then add a tender meat to soak up some of that flavor and bulk up the dish?

    I happen to love pork tenderloin, buy Symon has a point, it is bland. But it is also pretty much ALL meat (no bones, negligible fat, ect.). So if you could extract the flavor of the bones and the connective tissue, the fat, etc. from the shanks, would not the tenderloin if chopped up not absorb some of that flavor?

    Just a thought exercise, but i am very curious. And i am not a good enough cook to actually experiment with this and get meaningful information. My palette is bad. ^-^
