Ingredients

Gremolata

1/2 cup finely chopped parsley

2 tablespoon grated lemon zest

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

8 osso buco pieces (veal shank)

1/4 cup seasoned flour

1 tablespoon olive oil

30 gram butter

1 onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 carrots, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 red capsicum, seeded, chopped

1/2 cup white wine

2 400g cans diced tomatoes

2 cup beef stock

1 bay leaf

2 sprigs fresh thyme

1/2 cup spiral pasta

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160°C.

2.Dust veal in flour, shaking off excess. Heat oil and butter in a flameproof casserole dish.

3.Brown osso buco on both sides for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

4.Saute onion and garlic in same pan for 2-3 minutes. Add carrot, celery and capsicum. Saute for 2 minutes.

5.Stir in wine on high heat. Simmer for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, stock and herbs. Return osso buco to pan. Bring to the boil.

6.Bake, covered, for 1 1/2 hours. Stir in pasta. Bake, covered, for a further 25-30 minutes, until pasta is tender. Season to taste.

7.GREMOLATA: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Serve osso buco sprinkled with Gremolata.

If you have no flameproof dish, use a frying pan and transfer mixture to a casserole dish for baking. Veal shanks and beef stock can be replaced by chicken pieces and chicken stock. Bake for 1 hour. Chuck steak could also be used – bake 1 1/2 hours. Cooking uncovered for the final 20 minutes will thicken the sauce more.
