Braised and Roasted Pork Shanks With Prosciutto and Porcini Mushrooms

This sophisticated dish of braised and roasted pork shanks brings a deep, savoury flavour to the dinner table. By slow-cooking the meat with earthy porcini mushrooms and salty prosciutto, the pork becomes incredibly tender before a final blast in a hot oven ensures a perfectly browned finish. The combination of woody herbs like sage and rosemary adds a wonderful aromatic quality that complements the rich, reduced sauce.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on lean protein and a wealth of fibrous vegetables including leeks, carrots and celery. It is a hearty yet balanced meal that feels truly indulgent without the need for heavy starches. Serve it in shallow bowls to catch every drop of the mushroom-infused gravy, perhaps with a side of steamed seasonal greens for a complete and healthy supper.
