- Choose a large and heavybased casserole or possibly other pan with a tightfitting lid that will take the ossobuco in a single layer and heat the oil in it.
- Pat the meat dry and coat it lightly in flour.
- Shake off excess flour and when the oil is quite warm brown the meat quickly on both sides.
- It should be light golden brown.
- Once the meat is ready add in the sage leaves and a minute later pour in the wine.
- Let it bubble and evapourate for a few min then add in the stock the orange peel and seasoning to taste.
- Cover tightly and cook very gently for about 1 1/2 hrs till the meat is very soft.
- Turn the meat over carefully a couple of times during the cooking time but be careful not to spill the marrow from its centre.
- Once the meat is ready sprinkle the basil leaves over it cover again and simmer for a few more min.
- By now the sauce will be thick and velvety.
- Serve with Catalan Spinach (qv) or possibly steamed small courgettes and mashed potatoes made with extra virgin olive oil instead of butter.
