Osso busso

49 reactions · 4 comments | You don’t have to be a chef, you just need to think like one! Here are 5 tricks that I use as an ex-chef, and now a busy parent trying to save precious time in the kitchen while still cooking finger-licking food. 1) Prep in bulk I diced the veggies in bulk the night before while cooking another meal. It takes barely any extra time, but saves so much effort later. I bulk prepped more osso bucco so I have leftovers which I’ll freeze and later transform into another amazing meal. 2) Leverage everything to your advantage In this meal, I let time and heat do most of the work. I just prepped it and threw it into the oven — that’s it! Everything slow-cooked works this way. One-pot meals to save on cleanup time, slow cookers to do the heavy lifting, batch cutting and freezing, batch prepping veggies, smart kitchen layout so everything’s within reach, etc etc — optimize and LEVERAGE everything you can. 3) Reuse like a pro Save those precious sauces. Reduce stock. Transform yesterday’s leftovers. Freeze and reuse braises. In this recipe, I reduced half of the liquid with the meat into the sauce. It added an incredibly deep flavor to the meat and a beautiful sheen. I reduced the other half and froze it. This concentrated goodness becomes a flavor starter for future meals - it’s literally liquid gold that will elevate any dish. Just learning a few tricks, a little prep, and simple planning will make cooking so much easier. Your efforts will count multifold! Your food will be done quicker and taste better.

244K views · 29K reactions | Osso Buco is my favorite dish to order at Italian Restaurants because it takes so long to make, and I enjoy outsourcing that whenever I can. Most pasta dishes are easy enough to make at home (and I can make them the way I like it)... but the BEST Osso Buco is still going to be homemade because you can taste as you go and make everything perfect. Osso Buco:  Ingredients • 3 Veal or Beef Shanks (2in [5cm] Thick) • 1/2c Flour (Salted and Peppered) • 1c Red Wine 250ml • 1 Carrot (Rough Dice) • 1 Onion (Rough Dice) • 2 Celery Stalks (Rough Dice) • 2 Tbsp Tomato Paste (Optional) • 2 Cloves Garlic (Crushed) • 2 Sprigs Thyme • 2 Bay Leaves • 1c Tomatoes (Crushed) 250g • 1qt Beef Stock 1l • 2 Tbsp Butter • Salt Pepper (To Taste) -Optional Gremolata Topping • Parsley, 1 Garlic Clove, Lemon Zest (Minced together to Taste) Recipe 1 Cover the shanks in the flour mixture and slightly slice the outer membrane 2-3 times. Thanks for the tip, @foodmymuse 2 Fry the shanks in olive oil on high heat until browned on all sides. 3 Remove shanks and deglaze the pan with red wine. Scrape clean, simmer till slightly thickened and store for later. 4 Add the carrots, onion, and celery to the pan  and cook until soft 5 Add the garlic, bay leaves, thyme, tomato paste and tomato sauce. 6 Place the shanks back on top and add the wine reduction and stock till covered. 7 Simmer for 2-3 hours for veal and 3-4 hours for beef… until the shanks are fork tender. 8 Remove the shanks, strain the sauce, then place the shanks and sauce back into the pan to simmer for another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Until the sauce becomes thicker. Make sure to regularly baste the top of the shanks in sauce, or flip the shanks so that they stay moist. 9 Remove shanks and strain the sauce again into a small pot, then whisk in some butter and enjoy. 10 This can be served with polenta, or risotto alla milanese like in the video.
