    A short story:
    The skies darkened as the giant disk descended from the sky above the Empire State Building. From outside his window, sirens sound and people scream as they run for cover. Still Jamie eats. But all that doesn't matter. God's butter lulls him into a trance of sweet nectar and orange zest. God's butter hypnotizes him to the point where even the heat of a million fires that lick the towering buildings couldn't break him from his reverie. "What the hell is going on out there," he exclaims between bites. But that doesn't matter. All that matters is the Osso Bucco and the universe of umami.

    We ate this a lot at home growing up (Julia's recipe of course), but we used beef shank and it was just as good. Roasted potatoes, a green veggie (because mom insisted we always eat veggies), and a crusty bread (that is what you put the marrow on). This is one of my favs..

      Yeah, just substituting veal for beef shanks and the veal broth for a good quality beef broth (it's easy to make it at home using a pressure cooker and beef bones from a butcher) reduces the price significantly. Latin supermarkets sell beef shanks at a good price (it's called chamorro de res in Spanish).

    Osso bucco is absolutely delicious. I have made Julia’s and other versions. I usually finish mine with a traditional gremolata of parsley, garlic and lemon or orange and serve it over creamy polenta. The polenta is really nice with the sauce. Some people think the marrow is gross but it is really great. And yes, it is now very expensive to make. Back in the day veal shanks weren’t as expensive as they are now. You can make a “cheaper”version with beef shanks or even pork shanks. Bon appetit!

A few years ago I ran across a recipe using beef shanks, marsala and tarragon. Wow!! Delicious but best for winter because I bake it in a low oven for 5-6 hours!

    The "h" in herbs can be silent or pronounced, depends on the variety of English. In American English it is generally silent, but in British English it is usually pronounced, so herbs most definitely has an "h". Many American speakers also pronounce the "h", so, no, you weren't and are not pronouncing it wrong. All the other people who commented otherwise were just ignorant

      Fun fact. British english used to be the same as American english until Queen Victoria went down the French pronunciation road and added the letter 'u' to words like neighbour and colour, and swapped the 'e' and the 'r' in words like theatre and centre.
      She did this because her beloved hubby, Prince Albert, had trouble pronouncing certain words without the French influence. Voila!!

    It's one of the most joyous dishes to eat isn't it!?
    I remember hearing the name of it years before I ever got a chance to cook & eat it. I was having friends around for dinner & thought I'd give it a go. Everyone was lively & chatty during the first course. I brought the Osso Buco out to the table to serve up & there were some Oh's & Ah's. That first bite, butter soft unctuous flesh, the slippery coating mouthfeel of the escaped marrow... I got lost in it. Then I realised that the table was totally silent, everyone lost in their own little reverie, savouring those first bites. I'd served it with a bed of creamy butter bean mash & mushrooms, with a side of small toast triangles for the bone marrow if people wished. There was little talking through that course, everyone was totally absorbed in the plate in front of them. sometimes silence is a good thing at a dinner table, sometimes. That was one of them.
    Oh I want to cook it again, thanks for bringing it up & great video. At the end, the cacophony of sirens in the background & your peaceful absorbed demeanour caring only for the taste of the dish really sums up how good it is.

    I remember coming home from school, walking into the house and that smell would hit me. I knew we'd be eating osso buco for dinner. Oh what joy! Mom would prepare risotto Milanese with saffron and the marrow while the shanks were braising in the oven. Dad would open a good bottle of wine. Absolutely must have gremolata, lemon zest, chopped garlic and parsley, sprinkled over the top. Perfection on a plate. Back then veal shanks were fairly cheap as few Americans cooked them. Perhaps my very favorite meal.

    I've made Osso Bucco for more than thirty years. Obviously my favorite dish. Your version (Julia's) is excellent. There are so many variations as to how to cook this dish - this version uses more lemon zest than I would normally use, but that is an essential ingredient. I have never used fresh tomatoes as you do, but I'm sure this would work well.
    I've never used veal stock (difficult to find or make) but chicken stock and/or beef stock or a combination of both works well.

    Been about a year since I made this dish, and it's one of my best. Italian comfort food. Make sure to have good garlic bread to slather that bone marrow over! And forget the veal, just get beef shanks. You can even do this dish with oxtail. I also add celery, and the last half hour I add quartered potatoes, mushrooms, and larger carrot chunks. I usually let this cook for 3 1/2 hrs total, so with prep time it's one of those cold winter weekend meals that cook all day...

    Jamie, I know you may never see this comment, but something that helps with dredging is put the flour on waxed paper. When you are finished with dredging, you just enclose the remaining flour in the waxed paper and toss in the trash. It makes clean up much easier and you waste less flour. Just put a coating of the flour on your paper about the size of the pieces you are dredging. If you run out of flour, use a spoon and spoon out some more flour. You can also use the paper to line a bowl if you find that easier. Anything to make clean up easier is great. This way you don't end up with wet blobs of bloody flour stuck to bowls or your cutting board. Those are so hard to clean up as they set like concrete.

Julia) back in the day said "season with salt and pepper", while salt is a flavor enhancer (if you don't salt, it won't taste right, from Thomas Keller) but pepper changes the flavor. If you don't pepper, then it's simply not peppery. Unless you want your Osso Bucco to taste like pepper, don't use it. Carrots and onions: you can always add a bit of water to cool the pan. It will evaporate and not change the flavor; once the onions burn, they'll be bitter (covering the pan was confusing to me). Regarding pronouncing French words, the only consonants at the end of words that are pronounced are the ones in "careful": C R F and L. So the "d" in fond is not pronounced ("fohn"). "Check seasonings" means get a spoon and taste first--during braising, some of the liquid will evaporate, making it more salty. It's best to be stingy with the salt at the beginning, and adjust (add more) at the end. FINALLY, I'd invest in a really good Thermopen instant thermometer. Yes, 1-1/4 hour sounds about right at 350 F (I'd try longer at 275 F--all cooking is time and temperature, and if you want it like butter, slow and low is the way to go) but I suspect veal is fully done at 125 or 130 F in any case. After your video on the bifteck hache I was inspired to follow in your footsteps. Thanks for the great videos; I guess I know what's for dinner this weekend!

    Ossobucco is so amazing. ❀ I had the same reaction when I made it first years ago.
    A trick I learned from chefs re hot pots and pans: always have a good-quality, dry, and double-layer (one fold) kitchen towel on you while cooking. Once you train yourself to use it cooking becomes so much easier. It's one of their most used kitchen tools.

Back then it was te only met that would feed our family of five without killing our wallets, but now is a comfort food that we all love. We still fight over who gets to eat te marrow (the middle of the bone) in a toasted pice of bread ha!

    This video brings back memories. The BEST Ossobuco I've had was in a sushi restaurant, Keiichi in Denton, TX. The owner is a master sushi chef but when he came to America he had to take a job in an Italian restaurant as sushi was as yet not a thing in the USA. He found he liked Italian food. He has said Italian and Japanese food are very similar - they are simple cuisines based on fresh, quality, ingredients. His ossobuco is to die for - as are most of his creations.

    Go with Beef or Lamb shanks next time. Just as good I think because Julia's sauce is a mix of tangy richness, umami from the tomato flesh. Someone below suggested anchovy paste, or anchovy sauce. I'd definitely go there as the "iconic" Pinwheel Lasagna From the Don Angie restaurant recipe uses fish sauce to kick up its Italian Sausage + Veal Bolognese component. Julia's turn with the orange peel is a shout out to Gremolata, which would be a nice condiment to go with it. Served with polenta, or gnocchi, it would be a real winter warmer from Northern Italy.

    Nice dish and pretty straight forward to cook once you have the ingredients. Yes, the cost, the cost, the freaking cost of food, and everyfreakingthing. I'd get this now, and make it before the costs go up, cuz there is only one way but up now. I'd even go to a restaurant instead; it's getting that close to home cooking costs. Also, some variations on this theme I'll mention at the end. Veal is always expensive, but there are other meats that will work almost as well. The marrow is the thing with shanks, if you don't need that then there is another choice. The sauce looks easy enough, and the tomatoes can be canned, but those looked nice. As for Anthony I guess he is talking to God about the marrow now too! Chuck steak or roast is cheap and can be braised like this in the same sauce or cooked slow in the crock pot for a close mimic to this dish, everything else being the same. And instead of whatever he paid for the veal; you are looking at maybe one fifth the price per pound. Good food for a cold day, not that cold here, but will be in the winter. : )

  • @avisitorhere
    @avisitorhere Pƙed rokem +20

    Tip: don't brown your meat in a non stick pan, you can not develop a fond that way, since the sugars don't stick to the pan. Use a stainless steel pan for this. Also adding water to the pan you are browning in, helps release the meats juices which helps develop the fond on the pan. Americas Test Kitchen has a good tutorial on that process. Browning meat has everything to do with the sauce at the end and very little to do with the final flavor of the meat itself. You're making sauce not meat.

      Great tip, but a word of caution for anyone making Ossobuco--the shanks are NOT steaks, they're dredged for a reason and shouldn't be treated like a steak in that you don't want that same type of crust. The ossobuco browns even more near the end of it's time in the oven, and if you make the crust too hard it'll make the texture of the meat somewhat stringy on the outside once it's fully braised for 3 hours.

      Oddly us Brits pronouncing the H in the loan word [from the French] herbs started relatively recently in the 18th/19th century. It was a class thing [as always with us] as some accents that were perceived as "lower class" like cockney routinely dropped the "H" at the beginning of words. So not wanting to sound lower class the "H" started to be emphasised & we got "Herbs" not " 'erbs" .
