Osso Buco
This is my version of the Italian classic braised veal shanks. Melt in your mouth tender fall off the bone veal with a super flavorful sauce. I made this in a pressure cooker, but directions are included for a crockpot or oven braise. All delicious!

Osso Buco Osso Buco
A family friend of ours had a sadly now defunct restaurant that had this Milanese dish of braised beef shanks as one of its specialties. I've cobbled up this recipe for osso buco based on hints from them and other recipes (primarily the one from Giada de Laurentiis at Food Network) I've seen online. The original method from the old restaurant braised the shanks for 12 hours, but I've found that 2 hours is more than good enough. 🐄🥩🍅🍲🇮🇹

Lamb - Osso Buco Style Lamb - Osso Buco Style
This delicious northern Italian style meal is very easy to prepare. It's slow-cooked in the oven with a “hint of mint” in a vegetable sauce which compliments the meat. When served, it rivals most restaurant dinner plates. It's my signature dish. Serve with polenta, wide flat noodles, or along-side a portion of Italian risotto (recipe is published). Buon Appetito!

Budget Oxtail Osso Buco (for regular stovetop and pressure cooker) Budget Oxtail Osso Buco (for regular stovetop and pressure cooker)
We love Osso Buco, but veal shanks can get pretty spendy, so I like to make it with oxtail, which costs about a third of what veal shanks cost.Risotto Milanese made with Calrose rice and safflower aka azafrán rather than arborio and saffron also comes in at a fraction of the cost and is a delicious knockoff of the traditional preparation.Cost saving substitutions aside, the meal is still rich, hearty and downright luxurious washed down with a glass of your favorite value red.Recipe takes about 90 minutes in pressure cooker, and about 3 hours stovetop. Stovetop method at end of recipe.

The meat quality is excellent, and you can tell their staff generally are foodies, who share good tips and recipes. This is a variation from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking, by Marcella Hazan.

This recipe is based on one by Heidi da Empoli, published by Amanda Hesser in The New York Times. Without the acidity of a classic Bolognese, this version seems more aromatic, as if tomatoes masked the flavors of the meat and other vegetables.#pasta #meat #Italian
