Osso Buco er en italiensk klassiker med masser af smag - og egentlig et minimum af arbejde. Den skal stå og passe sig selv længe, så måske den er bedst egnet til en fridag.It's often served with risotto Milanese, a classic risotto with saffron, chicken stock, butter and parmesan.This time I chose to serve with mashed potatoes flavoured with truffle oil.If you want to go all-in on ingredients, use a Homemade veal stock in the recipe. But if you don't have time for that, you can also use a pre-purchased one. If you use concentrate, I prefer the small "jellies" you can buy rather than a cube. But there are plenty of other flavours in the dish, so your stock alone will not determine the quality.Traditionelt serveres Osso Buco med Gremolata, som består af 1 bundt finthakket persille, 2 fed finthakket eller revet (ikke knust!) hvidløg og reven skal af en usprøjtet citron - blandet og lagt ovenpå.Jeg kan ikke lide Gremolata, og derfor lavede jeg det ikke. Men nu ved du, hvordan man gør :-)
If there are tendons around the edge of the meat, cut through them in some places. Otherwise it will bulge a lot during browning
Peel the onion and chop it finely
Peel the garlic and chop it finely
Rinse the celery stalks, split them lengthways and chop them finely
Peel carrots and cut them into small cubes
Place flour in a plate and season it with salt and pepper
Toss the meat pieces in flour
Heat the oil in a large, thick-bottomed pan over medium heat
Fry the meat pieces 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. If necessary, do this in two batches to avoid them being too close together and boiling instead of frying
Remove the meat and add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent
Add carrots and celery and sauté for 3-4 minutes
Add tomato paste and let it sweat for 1-2 minutes
Add white wine and simmer for a few minutes before adding tomatoes, bay leaves and beef stock/broth
Season with salt and pepper to taste
Læg kødet over i gryden - det skal være dækket af saucen
Lad det hele simre ved svag varme 2½ timer under låg - rør forsigtigt engang imellem for at undgå, at det brænder påYou can also put it in the oven at 160° if the pan has no parts that can be damaged by oven heat.
Smag til igen - og server med kartoffelmos, risotto eller safranris og evt. et gavmildt drys gremolata ovenpå.
