👩🍳 How to prepare veal osso buco in sauce
🍖 1. Sear the meat
Season the osso buco with salt and pepper and lightly coat it with flour. Heat the oil in a large casserole dish and brown for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until a golden crust forms. Remove it and set aside.
🧅 2. Prepare the sofrito
In the same casserole dish, sauté the onion, carrot, celery and garlic for 8 to 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
🍅 3. Add the tomato and wine
Add the crushed tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the wine and let it reduce for a few minutes so that the alcohol evaporates.
