(Misspelled foreign words and the you're/your confusion being my greatest peeves). I place the blame for my incorrect spelling squarely on Mr. Puttock!<BR/><BR/>I'll leave it in Eng-talian for now, but I'll write it correctly la prossima volta.<BR/><BR/>Baci <BR/><BR/>xox SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261274546097701065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-48565343067509909332008-08-06T12:27:00.000+10:002008-08-06T12:27:00.000+10:00YUM!!!!

My Mum makes the BEST Osso Buco in town, and it doesn't taste complete without the gremolata sprinkled on top.<BR/><BR/>And sorry to be a pedant, but while I note that the Merriam-Webster accepts Osso Bucco as an alternative spelling in English, the correct Italian spelling is Osso Buco (literally, "bone" "hole")... but as you're writing in English I'll let it slide! :pclairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271464994614942315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-25849762304589129652008-08-06T00:51:00.000+10:002008-08-06T00:51:00.000+10:00Oooh... gravy beef.

Good tip.<BR/><BR/>Tobie's recipe actually did have the meat dusted in seasoned flour, but it still ended up more watery than we thought it would be. The leftover stew made a great pasta sauce the next day though!<BR/><BR/>xox SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261274546097701065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-29525306573084731092008-08-06T00:43:00.000+10:002008-08-06T00:43:00.000+10:00Yeah, I like cheap cuts of meat too. Gravy Beef fo...Yeah, I like cheap cuts of meat too. Gravy Beef for example is really tasty it's the shank meat like Osso Bucco without the bone. Rump's as good as Portherhouse IMO too.<BR/><BR/>If you want to eliminate the wateriness in braises, dust your meat with seasoned flour before browing it. That way when braising, the flour will thicken your sauce slightly as it cooks and make it all slightly richer.stickyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861830835308131738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-21206680506540918472008-08-05T23:55:00.000+10:002008-08-05T23:55:00.000+10:00Hi Ange - That's a shame!

I remember our one being a bit watery - Su actually said "next time I'll add less stock", but we still thought there was enough flavour.<BR/><BR/>Sticky - Mmm... I love oxtail! Haven't had it in a while though. <BR/>Nigella has a fab recipe in How to Eat for Oxtail with Mackeson and Marjoram that I made during my How to Eat project.. I might just pull that one out over the next few weeks. Yummmmy!<BR/><BR/>I love that the stew cuts of meat are cheaper! So I can afford to buy lovely organic meat for stews more often than say, roasts or steak. (Which, for me, are an occasional treat).<BR/><BR/>xox SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261274546097701065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-48288325472621308512008-08-05T19:46:00.000+10:002008-08-05T19:46:00.000+10:00You gotta love great rib-sticking comfort food lik...You gotta love great rib-sticking comfort food like that - yours looks delicious. We are regular eaters of Osso Bucco in winter and beef ribs or oxtail work a treat cooked exactly the same way.stickyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861830835308131738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-14824050732478007302008-08-05T19:29:00.000+10:002008-08-05T19:29:00.000+10:00I;m glad yours worked.

I made this on the weekend too & it failed to reduce much so the liquid was a bit watery & as a result the flavour was a bit weak too, I even had it in the oven for hours extra with no luck!Angehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11222036974725609403noreply@blogger.com
