Delicious Osso Buco Meal

So, the other day I was grocery shopping and came across a packet of Osso Buco. I had never heard of it, so I called my mother-in-law and asked if she had made it before. She said yeah and shared a recipe she used.

This turned out to be a delicious meal! Mmm!

NOTE: I'm not responsible for making your mouth water!

Here's what you'll need for three servings:

• Veal Osso Buco (shanks)

Non-food Essentials

• Kitchen twine
• Zester
• Cheesecloth
• Deep pot

1. Tie the shanks with the twine.
2. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Dredge the shanks in flour enough to form a nice coat.

1. Heat oil over high heat.
2. Add the shanks.
   1. Let them brown 4-6 minutes.
3. Turn brown shanks over to the other side and brown another 4-6 minutes.
4. Remove from the pot and set aside for now.

1. Lower the heat and proceed by prepping the veggies.
2. Cut one carrot, one celery stalk, and one half onion into small cubes.

1. Turn the heat up to medium and mix in the veggies.
2. Add a tablespoon of tomato paste and mix.

1. Place the shanks back into the pot.
2. Add 1/2 cup of white wine and allow it to reduce by half. About 5-8 minutes.
3. Add enough chicken stock to reach the surface of the shanks but not cover them.

1. After adding the chicken stock, prepare the bouquet garni.
   1. Cut a 6"x6" cheesecloth square.
   2. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon each of thyme, crushed bay leaves, and rosemary into the middle of the square.
   3. Tie it with the twine and add it to the pot.
2. Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer 60-90 minutes, or until the meat easily comes off the bone.

1. Take a shank and place it in the middle of a plate.
2. Scoop some of the veggies and sauce out and pour over the shank.
3. Garnish the shank with chopped parsley and lemon zest.

Now you can enjoy a delicious homemade meal you thought you could only find at a restaurant!
