Osso Bucco / Kate Martens (p)

“I have only made Osso Bucco with veal so I was excited to try out this recipe. The end result was a rich-and-creamy dish that I served with hand-picked herbs, mash and gremolata. It delivered a fresh-and-savoury combination worth noting – and it went well with a glass of fine wine!”
