Osso Bucco and Borlotti Bean Pie Recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients:
½ cup olive oil, plus 1/4 cup extra for drizzling
1kg veal osso bucco
½ cup flour
1 brown onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup red wine
2 (400g) cans diced tomatoes
2 cups beef stock
2 bay leaves
½ cup oregano leaves
2 cups fresh borlotti beans
4 slices sourdough bread, torn
1 lemon, zest finely grated
2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat 1/2 cup oil in a heavy-based saucepan over high heat. Dust veal in flour and cook in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned. Set meat aside.
Add onions and garlic to saucepan and cook for 2-3 minutes or until soft. Add veal back into pan with red wine, tomatoes, beef stock, bay leaves, and oregano. Cover and cook in oven for 1 hour.
Add beans and cook for another 30 minutes or until beans are tender and meat falls off the bone. Remove bones from pot and flake meat with a fork. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and spoon into a pie dish.
Place sourdough bread, lemon zest, and parsley in a bowl and drizzle with extra olive oil; toss to combine. Place bread on top of osso buco and bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Serve hot.
