I picked this recipe as the cooking time was less than other Osso Bucco recipes. However, the meat was on the tough side. There are no short cuts to a tender, melt in your mouth Osso Bucco. Needs 2 hours of cooking time.
Simple to make with simple ingredients. I cooked longer as per other reviewers.
This was delicious. Followed recipe except added carrots. Just because. Served over polenta maybe some parsley would have been nice
made with veal. the flavors were awesome. but, discovered that it took almost 3 hours for the meat to be tender.
