A rich tomato dish thats nice and spicy made with lamb leg steak cooked on the bone
Hari says
This is an interesting recipe, the Osso Bucco bit refers to the cut of meat. Osso bucco means "the bone with the hole", so the cut is from the shin or leg and the bone sits in the middle. The tomato sauce has a wonderful warming red colour and a real depth of flavour which comes from the slow cooking and the marrow. I haven't used any ginger or garlic in this because I wanted to get the amazing meaty flavour to come through. If you want, you can add garlic and ginger in step 2.
It's fairly simple to make and if like me, you like meat on the bone then this is the perfect dish for you. This also works amazingly well in a slow cooker too
