Method

• Turn on your oven and set to 165 degrees Celsius or 330 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Start by rubbing both pepper and salt on the Ossobuco
• Place the flour into a bowl. Gently place each Ossobuco in the flour too coat it.
• Once coated, set aside. Heat olive oil in a large pan
• Once the olive oil is shimmering, add the Ossobuco gently on the pan. Avoid overcrowding the Ossobuco in the pan.
• Cook each Ossobuco until its brown on all sides. Set each piece aside until all the pieces are browned.
• You can always add more oil when it’s over in the pan.
• Once all pieces are set aside, add a little butter to the same pan. Once melted, add the chopped celery, chopped onions, chopped carrots and three cloves of garlic.
• Let these vegetables cook in medium heat until soft. You can stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
• After around 5 minutes, the vegetables should be soft. Add the canned tomato and the wine.
• Take the Ossobuco and add the pieces gently to this mixture. The pieces should be spread out evenly to avoid any layering.
• The liquid mixture at this point must cover at least almost fully. If the mixture is too little, you can always some stock or even water.
• Let this whole mixture simmer and include the bay leaf at this point.
• Take the simmered Ossobuco pieces and place in the pre heated oven. Cover them with a parchment paper then leave them to bake for 2 hours. After 1 hour, remove the cover and let them continue cooking.
• As the pieces bake, take a small bowl and add your zest, parsley and remaining cloves of garlic.
• Stir this mixture well and add half of it to the baking Ossobuco in the last 20 minutes.
• Once the pieces are ready, place them in a platter and serve while hot. The remaining zest mixture can be used a garnish as you enjoy the meal.
