- Why roast vegetables separately?
- If cooked in ragu, courgette would disintegrate. Roasting concentrates flavour.
Osso Buco with Roasted Vegetables
Whilst classic Osso Buco focuses on meat tenderness, this version introduces play of textures: serving crunchy, oven-caramelised vegetables alongside butter-soft, sticky meat. Advantage of separate side dish is vegetables keep their own character and don't melt into sauce, offering new experience in every bite.
