STEAMED VEGGIES
I love making steamed veggies as a perfect side to my meal. Theyre super versatile, so make sure you choose your favorite veggies here.
Today Ive picked some trip coloured carrots, small oval potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Heres to steam the veggies in minutes:
-Sautee some onion in olive oil (or butter) for just 2 minutes. This gives so much flavor to the steamed veggies.
-Add in the veggies, season and then lock your Crock-Pot Express.
-Choose the steam function for 6-7 minutes. The time really depends on the size and types of veggies youre steaming.
-Release the steam, unlock and the veggies are perfectly steamed!
OSSO BUCCO RECIPE
The classic Osso Bucco is an Italian dish of braised veal shanks. I love the classic veriosn, but today I;m showing you to make beef shank Osso Bucco too.
Youll start by seasoning the shanks with salt, pepper, oregano and fresh rosemary. Now set your Crock-Pot Express to heat. Sear the shanks on both sides until golden and crispy. Look at that sear actually!
Now youll remove the shanks, and saut on heat the garlic and onions with a sprig of rosemary and a bay leaf. Then add in the shanks and stock. Swap your Crock-Pot Express to Pressure cook for 20 minutes making sure the steam valve is closed.
At that point, you want to release the steam and remove the lid. The shanks will be very tender, so be careful as you lift the shanks from the stock since they can fall off.
Now youll arrange the steamed veggies on one side of the platter, and the shanks on the other.
For the sauce, this is probably optional but I highly recommend you blend it. Take the stock, onions and any herbs remaining in the liquid and blend them using an immersion blender or any blender.
Pour that luscious sauce over the Osso Bucco and sprinkle some fresh parsley and rosemary over the platter.
OSSO BUCCO BEEF
While Osso Bucco is classically made using veal, I made it today using beef shanks. So this recipe is a beef shank Osso Bucco.
The cut youre looking for is shank. So whether youre making a veal Osso Bucco, lamb Osso Bucco or beef Osso Bucco, just ask for the shank cut.
The bone structure is the same and surrounded by meat. The beef shank Osso Bucco is the biggest in size so it needs the most cooking time, which is 20 minutes in the Crock-Pot Express. A classic veal or lamb Osso Bucco will need just 12 minutes.
