You already know by now that I’m a traditionalist so when it comes to making the classics I usually just leave them alone or throw a small twist on it, and the same goes for this osso bucco recipe. Osso Bucco is traditionally made with veal, which is really the nice way of saying you are eating a baby cow, which isn’t nice to say or think about really. Regardless, it is what is and that’s how I’m going to cook it!
Osso Bucco is a dish I haven’t made in at least 10 years but man oh man is it just so comforting and good, and now that the weather is beginning to turn to fall I can’t think of a better recipe to make!
