Slow Cooker Osso Bucco has to be one of the tastiest meals ever. The meat is so tender and is literally falling off the bone and it is always a winner when I make it for family.
Osso Bucco is one meal that my family grew up with.
My mumma would make it a few times a years and my version has been adapted to be made in a slow cooker, plus my version is also keto, lchf and paleo friendly!
It is best to prepare the meal in the morning and then let it cook all day and I highly recommend cooking it on low 8 hours. Serve it with quinoa, cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
