osso buco

Ingredients

3 Tbs flour

2 Tbs olive oil

½ onion, diced

2 carrots, diced

½ cup Here's To The Cook! Sun Dried Tomato Pesto

1 cup beef stock

1 cup red wine

Cooking Steps

Preheat oven 325degrees. Toss veal with flour to coat. Heat oil in medium size oven safe pot with tight fitting lid. Brown veal on all sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove veal and set aside.

Add onions & carrots. Sauté until onions are translucent and vegetables are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add pesto and parsley and combine thoroughly. Add beef broth and wine to pot, scraping up all brown bits (this is called DEGLAZING).

Return osso buco to pot and place in center of oven. Cook 2-3 hours or until meat is tender and flavors have combined.
