How to Make Veal Osso Buco Yummy

In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Dredge two veal shanks (about 1/2 inch thick each) in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a large oven-safe skillet (at least 12 inches), melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
Brown the veal shanks on all sides in the hot skillet, about 2-3 minutes per side. This will develop a rich crust.
Remove the veal from the skillet and set aside.
Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped carrots, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet drippings.
Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, and 1 bay leaf.
Return the veal shanks to the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 1/2 hours, or until the veal is fork-tender.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve the delicious Osso Buco over a bed of your favorite rice or creamy mashed potatoes, spooning the rich sauce generously over the meat.
Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
