Osso Bucco Stew
- Place meat into a 6 litre, heavy based pot & cover with water and add onions and garlic. Bring to the boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook covered over med-low heat for 2-3 hours, or until meat is soft.
- Add tomatoes, carrot, eggplant, beans, fat, herbs, honey, vinegar, salt and pepper. Continue to simmer on medium heat with lid partially off for a further 30 minutes, or until vegetables are soft, meat is falling off the bone, and liquid is beginning to reduce.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with gremolata.
Gremolata
- Finely chop parsley; grate the garlic and zest the lemons with a micro plane; chop them all together with sharp knife so they’re very fine and mixed well
Serve Stew with Gremolata sprinkled on top! Yum!
