    How to prepare Osso Buco/Rebecca Kiarie



    Osso buco is a traditional Italian dish made using veal shanks slow-cooked with vegetables, wine and stock.

    The key ingredient is veal shanks cut into short lengths, which contain marrow that adds richness to the dish.

    The meat is lightly coated with all-purpose flour and cooked with butter to enhance flavour.

    Aromatics such as garlic, onion and carrot form the base of the sauce.

    Dry white wine and beef stock are used to braise the meat gently.

    Tomatoes add acidity, while salt and pepper provide seasoning.

    Fresh parsley, garlic and lemon zest are added at the end for brightness.
