Osso Bucco on Grilled Polenta.


Not your typical summer meal, but is a rainy night and this went down beautifully. A simple stew - Osso Bucco tossed in seasoned flour and browned...then the usual stew combo of carrots, onion, celery, garlic...then through the Bucco back in, added heaps of wine...some cloves, nutmeg, a cinnamen quill...and a few tins of tomatoes...let is stew for hours. About half hour before serving I added some zucchini.

The polenta is dead easy, (used instant) and once it was all gooey and mash potato like I poored it into a baking tray to go firm. The just before serving, I grilled slices on the griddle...added heaps of parsley to the stew...oh yeah, and I chopped some pine nuts, with chilli and parsley and quickly fried that. Ladled the stew onto the polenta and topped with the crunchy, spicey, pine nut mix. A great hearty meal.
