1. Methods for Osso Buco

1. Prepare carrots, celery and white onions by peeling and cutting them into cubes, and cut cherry tomatoes into halves.

2. Using a hand blender, blend garlic and shallots separately until finely chopped.

3. Preheat oven to 200°C with ‘4D Hot Air’ mode.

4. Season veal shanks with salt and pepper, and coat with plain flour evenly, dusting off excess.

5. Heat butter in a pan and sear meat on both sides until brown. Remove meat from pan and set aside.

6. In the same pan, fry the carrots, white onions, celery, cherry tomatoes, chopped garlic, chopped shallots, bay leaf and rosemary.

7. Fry till the chopped garlic and shallots are brown and soft, and season with salt and pepper.

8. Deglaze with white wine, then add chicken stock and the fried veal shanks.

9. Once boiling, transfer to a medium sized baking dish and cover the dish with baking paper.

Tip: Covering the dish with baking paper helps retain flavour and moisture, and ensures that all ingredients are in contact with the stew.

10. Cook in the oven for about 90 minutes or until meat is tender.

2. Methods for Gremolata

11. Using a MultiTalent Food Processor, blend the garlic and parsley until finely chopped.

12. Add in lemon zest, and extra virgin olive oil. Mix well and set aside.

3. Methods for Saffron Risotto

13. In a hand blender, chop white onions. Fry the chopped onions in a pan until soft.

14. Add in carnaroli rice and saffron.

15. Deglaze with white wine and add in a scoop (about 30ml) of chicken stock. Stir well to release starch.

16. Add in a scoop of chicken stock at about 3 minute intervals. Repeat this for about 4 – 5 times and cook the rice for about 12 – 25 minutes until rice expands and stock reduces.
