Ossobuco is an Italian dish of veal shank in a vegetable stew. The named comes from the words
osso bucco, meaning 'bone with hole', which refers to the bones marrow of the veal.
I have made my own version by using a variety of vegetables in a cheesy stew. There will be enough leftover to serve the stew as part of another meal the following night.
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour 35 minutes
Makes: 2 servings
Ingredients
2 veal shanks
½ cauliflower
2 sweet potatoes
1 parsnip
500ml gravy
250 ml beef stock
120g cheddar cheese
2 tbsp plain white flour (plus extra for dusting)
2 tbsp margarine
200 ml almond milk
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp nori flakes
Method
Lightly dust the veal in flour.
Fry the veal in coconut oil for a few minutes on both sides until lightly browned.
Pour over the beef stock and then allow to simmer with the lid on for an hour or until the meat begins to fall off the bone. Turn the veal over ever 15 minutes.
Chop all the vegetables and mix together in a baking dish.
Pre-heat the oven to 200 ༠C/ 180 ༠C fan/350༠F/6 Gas.
Heat the flour and margarine together in the saucepan to form a ball.
Stir in the milk, cheese, and nori flakes.
Pour the cheese sauce over the vegetables.
Bake in the oven for half an hour.
Once the veal shanks are cooked, removed them from the bone.
