iChrissy's iKitchen

**RATE THE PLATE!** I take a recipe and make the dish. Then I'll tell you how it turns out on a scale of 'Great' to 'Hate'. Is this an iChrissy experiment about to go awry?

iGuy's Osso Bucco

iGuy whipped up this rich dish a while ago, but unfortunately iChrissy has been traveling and gallivanting all around not giving her much time to post it. Anywho, here's iGuy's result! (and a humble result at that!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can iGuy say about this classic Italian dish? Not sure when iGuy first made it, but it was quite a while ago. If iGuy remembers correctly, he first made it after seeing how it turned out on a cooking show, not sure which one. The one difference between the last time and this time was this time iGuy braised it in the oven instead of on the stove top, and iGuy likes the oven method much better. Much more gentle and forgiving. The shanks were delicious (thanks to the high quality meat used from iChrissy) but iGuy made a terrible mistake – he put the shanks marrow side down. Very disappointing as three out of the four shanks had their share of the marrow enriched in the sauce instead of their respective palates. iGuy is hard pressed to make this a five star dish, but truth be told, he’s not sure how to improve upon it. Suggestions?
