Ingredients (Makes 4 serves)
- 600 grams of veal osso bucco
- 800 grams of tinned tomatoes
- 2 diced brown onion (200 grams)
- 3 crushed cloves of garlic (9 grams)
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary (4 grams)
- 400 mls of red cooking wine
- 2 diced carrot (140 grams)
- 2 diced zucchini (220 grams)
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (150 grams)
- 1/2 cup dry polenta (65 grams)
- 1/4 cup plain wholemeal flour (30 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (1.25 grams)
- 1/2 free-range eggs (25 grams)
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat Greek natural yoghurt (40 grams)
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat milk of choice (62.5 mls)
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (10 mls)
- 1/4 cup corn kernels, fresh or tinned (40 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried chilli flakes (0.5 grams)
- salt
- pepper
- cooking oil spray
Method
- IF USING THE OVEN: Preheat oven to 160C. Place veal, tinned tomatoes, onions, garlic, rosemary, wine, carrots, zucchini and mushrooms into a casserole dish. Cover with a lid and bake in the oven for 90 minutes or until the meat is falling off the bone.
- IF USING A SLOW COOKER: Place veal, tinned tomatoes, onions, garlic, rosemary, wine, carrots, zucchini and mushrooms into the cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours until meat is falling off the bone.
- For both methods of cooking, prepare the corn bread 40 minutes before ready to serve. Combine polenta, flour, baking powder, egg, yoghurt, milk, oil, corn kernels, chilli flakes and some salt and pepper. Mix well to form a batter. Lightly spray 4 muffin moulds with cooking oil spray and divide the batter between each of the moulds. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 20 minutes until cooked through. If cooking the Osso Bucco in the oven then increase the heat for the final 20 minutes of cooking to bake the corn bread.
- To serve divide Osso Bucco meat with vegetables and cooking juices between four plates and serve with one corn bread muffin per person.
