5 hour cooked super easy Osso buco

What you’ll need;

4 large Osso bucos (I always get from the butcher)

2 diced medium leeks

1 diced carrot

1 stem of celery diced

1 Punnet of cherry tomatos

1 heaped table spoon of tomato paste

1 can of diced tomatoes

1 bunch of thyme 

1/4 cup of Woostireshire sauce 

1/2 L of beef or chicken stock 

5-10 cloves of garlic 

Salt and pepper 

What to do;

 1. Using a large pot, seal off the meat until brown and set aside. In the same pot, add some butter and brown off the leeks, carrot, celery and garlic.

2. Once the veggies start to brown, add in tomato paste and cook out for 2-3 minutes. If you have any red wine, you can add a glass or so. Add the stock & make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom. Bring the pot to a boil then turn down to a LOW simmer.

3. Add back in the meat, as well as any liquid it has, add in the whole cherry tomatoes, thyme, Woostireshire sauce and salt and pepper. - make sure the meat is covered and put the lid on and let it cook for 4-5 hours, checking every hour or so to make sure there is still liquid in the pot. 

*alternatively you can do this in a slow cooker and set and forget for 8 hours on low- just make sure you have enough liquid so it doesn’t dry out / burn.
