You’ll need:

• 6 x 250g Osso Bucco
• ¼ cup seasoned plain flour
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 chopped onion
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 stalked celery, finely chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• 12 sprigs thyme
• 2 cups beef stock
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 cups red wine
• Alps & Amici Pesto to serve

Here’s what to do:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Coat the Osso Bucco with seasoned flour and place on a tray ready to pan fry.
• Heat half of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook the meat in 2 batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned. Place in a large oven dish and set aside.
• Place the remaining oil in the frying pan and reduce heat to medium. Add the onion, garlic, and celery to cook for 5 minutes or until the onion is softened. Place in the oven dish. Add the bay leaves & thyme sprigs and set them aside.
• Place the stock & tomato paste in a jug and mix to combine. Pour the stock mixture and wine to cover the meat. Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and cook for 2 – 2 ½ hours or until meat is tender and sauce is thickened.

If the sauce is too thin, take lid off for the last 10 – 15 minutes of cooking time.

Serve on top of Alps & Amici truffled potato mash & a dollop of pesto on top.
