I have spent most of my life in the food and beverage industry and you'd think the last thing I would want to do is cook. Well, you are wrong, cooking is my therapy. Slicing, chopping, sautéing, simmering...I love it.
The Dorie recipe for this week is Osso Buco a L'Arman from Dorie Greenspan's "Around My French Table". I had to change the process a bit, because I had to go to the office and I couldn't babysit the pot while the Osso Buco was braising. After preparing everything on the stove, I assembled everything in my slow cooker, starting with a little of the tomato sauce on the bottom, then the veal, then more tomato sauce and the carrots on top.
Turned out great. Tender and the flavors were a perfect balance of salty, citrus, herby, meaty...YUM!
I took Dorie's "bonne idee" and made the Orange-Basil Gremolata and the Orang Rice Pilaf to go with the Osso Buco and a lovely glass of Bordeaux!
DELICIOUS!!!

Yes, so many of Dorie's recipes are restaurant worthy! Glad this was a winner for you, too!
ReplyDeleteI make as many stews in the slow cooker as I possibly can the only major difference I find is that the dutch oven stews come out thicker (and the flavor is a bit richer) I usely add a tablespoon or two of corn starch to thicken up slow cooker versions. So glad to hear that this dish will work in a crockpot. Wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteGracie, that looks so delicious. We loved this too, it is one of our favorites. I love
ReplyDeleteall your photos, beautiful. Happy Halloween.
This one was outstanding. I know what you mean about cooking being therapy. Whenever I'm stressed or feeling blue, cooking knocks it out of me. Eating what you make is a bonus! I am so happy to hear how well this worked in the slow cooker. I was wondering for next time. Bon appetit!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dish and I'm so glad you tried it with the slow cooker! I was very tempted to do so myself, but thought I should make the recipe "as-is" the first time, at least. And the dustiness of a Bordeaux went fabulously with the meal, I bet!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know this works in the slow cooker. While I prefer to use the oven when I
ReplyDeletem home its great to put things in the slow cooker and be able to leave! This one seems to be popular with all the Doristas!
I am trying to figure out how to make my rice cooker's warm setting work like a slow cooker. I'd make a lot more of these delicious braises for sure! The kitchen is definitely therapeutic!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how this would work in a slow cooker….now I know! It looks fantastic! Glad it was a winner for you. The kitchen is definitely my therapy.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see the west coast finally getting some much needed rain! Enjoy!
I like how you broke this up.
ReplyDeleteGreat thinking on using the rice cooker - I use mine for many unusual things. If I had to choose between my rice cooker and slow cooker, the rice cooker would win, hands down).
Kudos to you for making this on a work night. Glad it worked out in your cooker. It was a delicious meal and worth every penny like you said.
ReplyDeletePutting it in the slow cooker was a great idea. I don't use mine often enough. Your osso buco looks beautiful. And I agree, cooking is very relaxing.
ReplyDeleteEverything about this post is wonderful. Your pictures really demonstrate the entire process. I like to cook visually. Glad you enjoyed your Osso Bucco as much as I enjoyed reading your Blog this week.
