A classic dish, which I need to make again soon !
Good GOD that looks incredibly delicious (of course it does, Julia Child made it)!!!
I thought veal…well that's not really applicable now, but blimey… again… non stop tips , all done with humility . Not one word wasted. Respect.
Absolutely Awesomeness. Yummm she was fabulous
Also delicious made with oxtails
ossobuco: "bone hole", i.e., the bone marrow
Times have changed! I had to laugh when she presented it as a "budget" cut. Now everyone wants it. But hers is still the best ossobuco recipe I've ever made. I highly recommend it.
She's amazing. Teaching about meat / butchering, cooking technique, and kitchen equipment all in under 30 minutes in one take.
Delicious!
All meat is terribly expensive these days, and especially veal, which a lot of folks don’t want to use because we now know how they treat the calves to get them fattened. Has anyone made this with a meat other than veal? This recipe looks and sounds so good. She was such an inspiration!
17:40 $0.80 for a bottle of wine in 1966 would be $7.60 today in 2023!
Curious why she picked an Italian dish. Was she running out of French things to do by the time she got to season six?
(Note to self : use beef shank a cheaper cross-cut of lower from the lower leg. Beef Osso Busso dish also contains a bone with marrow in the centre.)
I've done this similarly with veal, beef, and lamb. I like to top it with a fresh gremolata that makes it pop with freshness.
My father loved her and listening to this takes me back to my early childhood. Thank you.
