Slow Cooked Lamb Osso Buco

Just quickly before the recipe - Osso Buco used in recipes is traditionally from veal shank, however Osso Buco is also cut from pork, venison, beef and lamb. The beauty of this cut of meat is that it is cheap, fatty, contains the bone which is full of collagen, vitamins and minerals and is wonderfully tasty and tender when it has been slow cooked. Please always used grass-fed organic meat - it is well worth it.
