Osso buco ... my take on an Italian classic. It's a mouthwatering and hearty one-pot meal, where the beef is cooked low and slow with vegetables, wine and beef stock. The end result, meltingly tender and succulent meat. Perfect comfort food that you'll want to share with the people you love.


Garnish with gremolata, a mixture of lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic and parsley ... or a handful of microgreens Mmmm ... served on a bed of fluffy and buttery mashed potatoes, or creamy polenta! Can dinner get any better on a cold winter's evening?
