One day while searching for something to cook with the basic staple vegetables we had in the fridge I came across this recipe on SBS food. Ben was never really a fan of osso buco so I knew the flavours had to be amazing to make this a regular dish in our home! And it was! Here we are many years later still serving this dish for our family and at dinner parties! It really is a crowd pleaser!
