I don't really care for osso bucco in general, but when i made this for my husband, he loved it! I froze the leftovers and he had it again 2 weeks later and said it was still amazing. He rarely raves about my cooking that way. A recipe that gets a rave from my husband has to be worth 5 stars.

I "Simon-and-Garfunkled" this recipe with some parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme then stayed true to the rest of the recipe ... DEEE-LISH!!

I'm a huge osso buco fan and decided to try out this recipe. It lacked the richness I'm used to. I lightly seasoned with s & p as I went because the dish lacked flavor. I followed the advice of others and added salt and pepper to my flour. I also used 4 ounces of bacon, (finely chopped and rendered) and used it to saute the onions and carrots in. I used red wine instead of white and added bayleaf and fresh rosemary. I think the canned tomatoes left the sauce too thin. Adding tomato paste would be helpful and a richer beef stock. The gremolata is a must to add in at the end.

First time making Osso Buco and I choose this recipe. first let me say that I followed the recipe as is and It was utterly Delicious!!! I made a gremolata to accompany this dish which was really a hit. I love this recipe and would make again.

I cannot describe how good this was! The only change I made was I used red wine instead of white (it was all I had) I Used 1 cup each of finely diced onion carrot and celery(needed to use them up) and a little extra garlic . Instead of cooking it on the stove top I put it in the crockpot....worked wonderfully!

WONDERFUL. My boyfriend loved it as well. Could not find veal shanks. Used veal stew cuts instead. Tasted fine. Added italian seasoning like others suggested. Added half a small can of tomato paste like others suggested. I love it alone, but it also tastes good over white rice.

Never had this dish before and I wasn't disappointed with it - I think the leftovers had an even better flavor. This was my first time cooking with veal shank and perhaps I just don't know what to look for, but the amount of fat/grease in the finished dish was considerable. I'd hate to ditch the recipe because of the fat.

This is a great recipe! I made this for my husband's birthday, and the only substitute I made because I didn't have beef broth handy. After a little research, I used Better than Bouillon vegetable broth + water + a dash of Worchestire sauce and it came out lovely! I served this with Suzy's Mashed Red Potatoes, broiled asparagus and the Super Easy Spinach and Red Pepper Salad (the first and last from the site). A very memorable dinner.

Fantastic! Made this several times - first with the shanks, but they are so expensive I tried it again with veal stew meat. Not quite as good because you don't get the marrow but still delish! Next time, I'm going to add some bones ...
