Awesome Osso Buco

Step 1

For the bouquet garni, tie the bay leaf, peppercorns, rosemary and parsley in a cheescloth bag. For the ossoo buco, sprinkle the shanks liberally with salt and pepper.  Brown the shanks in batches on all sides in the olive oil in a large Dutch oven.  Remove the shanks to a plate, reserving the pan drippings.
