Guest of honor:Osso Bucco

You could imagine that I'd enjoy that article, Algis.

I even like the recipe at the end.

I've cooked ossobuco, with beef shanks, about five times now, using different recipes. Four of the times it turned out wonderfully.

The fifth was a few months ago when I was visiting in Albuquerque. I decided to repay my hosts with a delicious ossobuco dinner. Another a2ker was invited to dinner too.
I used a recipe I'd used before successfully. Well, phooey.
Something about what I did messed it up. (I am guessing now that I boiled it for a few minutes without meaning to or noticing.)

It was a recipe that involved braising the meat on the stove top. It took forever to cook - and I mean forever. And then almost instantly it was dreadfully overdone. I airily blamed the city's elevation, but I don't think that was it. I served it glumly and people tried valiantly to move the thing around their plates. The gravy was pretty good...
and the company was excellent.

So much for my namesake dish. Of course, I'll have to try it again one of these days.

Glad you found this is was meant for you.It truely is a wonderfull dish I had it with goat and lamb while on CRETE.

Err..I don't often post over here in food and drink but I was scrolliing through and saw this - thanks for posting! I'm glad I stumbled on it. I've been curious about Osso Bucco!

The recipe in the linked article looks pretty good to me, d'nancy.

Bon Appetite
