Slow Cooker Osso Buco 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 Buco 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 this osso buco recipe 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.
