Osso Bucco

Just so you know and can pretend like you knew all along when you cook this for your friends, Osso Bucco is a Milanese dish. The name means ?bone with a hole? or ?hollowed bone? which refers to the veal shank bone with a large and tasty marrow filling. By braising (slow cooking) the meat this tough but tasty cut of meat will become super tender and taste almost like butta. This is a great dish to make if you have friends coming over ’cause you can pop it in the oven and forget about it for a couple of hours. The more you cook it the more tender it becomes.

Enjoy!

1 bouquet garni (thyme, sage, bay leaf)

* Grapeseed oil gets to a higher temperature than olive oil before burning so is ideal when searing meats at high heat.
