Osso? Osso what? Oh, so good!!



We made osso buco today. Now, I'm not going to argue with anybody about whether or not people should eat veal. I understand the argument against it. Sometimes I agree with it. But then again, that little guy doesn't know any better and he thinks his life is pretty good being fed that milk composition all the time. Plus, as I found out with this day, it's pretty darn tasty!!! This really wasn't a hard dish to make. Just a lot of time spent in the oven braising the meat. Our menu today called for us to pair it with french lentils and swiss chard. We also decided to make a sauce for it from by reducing some of the braising liquid. We weren't quite sure how to serve it as none of us had really had it before. The result was a lot of brown. The osso buco tasted great. The sauce was good. Not a real big fan of lentils but it did taste good. However, it just looked like a great mass of brown on the plate. Oh well. But once again, that osso buco tasted great. We also made a spinach souffle. Pretty easy to accomplish and very tasty.
