I made this because I picked up some reduced for quick sale Beef Osso Bucco cuts. This went down well. I think I will just sprinkle the parsley on next time as I am not too keen on raw garlic. I made it while suffering from a horrid headache so I imagine I would have enjoyed it more if I was feeling better! Thank you!!!
