This cool windy weather has me looking for warm nourishing food so now is the perfect time for Osso Bucco. The All Natural Meat Company has a beautiful cut of beef perfect for this dish. Serve it on polenta and topped with gremolata (crushed garlic with chopped parsley and grated lemon rind) and accompanied by lightly steamed broccoli and cauliflower. It is heaven in a bowl!
