My Indian osso bucco

Osso bucco, when done correctly is so delicious. It’s a meal I grew up with and it’s one I continue to make very often. When I go on holiday to Italy, it’s almost always one of the first meals I cook. I just love it.

So when I was sent some rose veal shins from one of my sponsors Alternative Meats, my family knew they were in for a treat. I ordered a beef tongue and a loin of pork from our local farmers market and started planning our meal.

As I do try to cook Indian food as often as possible for this blog, I decided to prepare my osso bucco Indian style. This isn’t a traditional Indian recipe though it is a nice Indo-Italian mix which really worked well.

So here you go… I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
