Ingredients

4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 branch of celery, finely chopped
about 8-12 pieces of veal osso buco
salt and freshly ground black pepper
a little plain flour to coat the meat
120 ml dry white wine
2 tomatoes, diced
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs of lemon thyme
about 1/4 cup veal glaze
4 tbsp chopped parsley
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
the finely grated zest of 1 lemon

Preparation

Heat half the olive oil in a wide sauté pan. Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook, while stirring, for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl.

Season the veal with salt and pepper and coat lightly with plain flour.

Heat the remaining oil in the pan and brown the veal pieces for about 2 minutes on each side. Add the white wine, bring to the boil and cook for 1 minute.

Add the vegetables, tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaf, lemon thyme and veal glaze and shake the pan well. Cover the pan with foil and a lid and cook on low heat for about 50-60 minutes or until the meat is tender.

Just before serving, add the parsley, garlic and lemon zest.

Bon appétit!

My Osso Buco is better!
Add red wine, lots of, instead of white, some bay leaves, basil leaves, lemon rind peels, beef stock, and use a big jar of pureed tomato with basil instead of fresh tomatoes and cook in the oven for at least 90 minutes on 160C. You will get an Osso Buco with lots of flavour. Serve with Risotto Milanese!! Happy cooking.
