It is very delicious looking! I’ve heard of osso buco, but didn’t know what it was. Looks so good, seriously. I like shortcuts/”lazy” methods.

This looks amazing although I am not sure I would want to do a stew since my favorite part of osso buco is the marrow… I have also had really good luck using gestures: mime on your leg/body which part of the meat you want so you would sort of make those chopping gestures on your shin for this(worked great in Japan).

Thanks for clarifying Jenn. I grew up eating ox-tail and I think it’s fantastic. I should have mentioned this earlier that the recipe sounds delicious. I will have to try it. Honestly, it was the ox-tail image in your photo that made me curious about this dish. I guess now you’ve unexpectedly made ox-tail and I hope you enjoyed it like I do. Hope to see more good stuff.

Since I had no idea what osso buco was until reading this, I certainly don’t mind that you changed it to meet your needs. I’m with you on that. Be creative and do what works for you. Thanks for participating in the soup carnival.

Mmh, despite my Italian name, I can’t even spell ‘Osso Buco’ when I’m looking right at it (smile)…

I love Osse Bucco and this soup looks so good, Jenn. I could eat a bowl for breakfast!

Shank or tail, that still looks like a damn fine stew!

@ron – Thanks for the clarification, this shows I should learn not what cuts of meat are by using google translator while living in a country where I do not speak the language! I updated my recipe to clarify. Queues de veau totally translates to veal shanks using google translator, and silly me saw that they were really small for what I thought lamb shanks were but because google translator had translated it as veal shanks I figured I shouldn’t second guess it. haha that taught me, no wonder the price was so cheap too! agh moral of my story – I should not learn via google translator and rely on my common sense. Thanks for pointing this out, really.

Alas! I haven’t been able to find veal, much less veal shanks in yonks. This looks good though, very good. So good my mouth is salivating!
