Hi I love the recipe idea, I have missed something along the line How many serves is this for
I really coiok the italian way, but with my osso buco I prepare the meat similarly to yours, but instead of the anchovies I use freshly made italian sausages. I use basil and rosemary cut finely with Italian parsley and celery. 1 can of diced tomatoes with wine & Garlic sauce, add some worcester sauce and cook very slowly on the stove but I use yearling meat not veal (it has better flavour.)
