I served this Osso Buco with Polenta Chips. Polenta has never been my forte, in fact as a teenager I once cooked some for the family, my brother and sister thought it was terrible and apparently were told they had to eat it. I have been teased about it ever since at siblings dinners!
I certainly don’t remember the appalling taste, I blocked it out! As a parent I recommend that you forget how bad a dish may taste to your kids, on the odd occasion that you have produced an awful dish and when it comes to foods that your child claims no ‘to like’, I recommend you apply the same principle of forgetfulness!
Polenta chips, made with milk complete this wholesome dish beautifully.
Anyway you will need:
