-Start with the Crock-Pot Express 10 Qt. It has a huge capacity, it’s 15 in one pot and this whole platter comes together in a single pot (no washing needed in between). Plus it all comes together in 26 minutes of cooking! That’s the first tip to entertaining with ease!
-Choose your favorite veggies, and make sure you chop them if they take too long to cook (such as potatoes or sweet potatoes).
-Start by steaming the veggies because they take just a few minutes and need to cool down.
-Cool down the veggies and use the same Crock-Pot Express, just wipe it down with a paper towel.
-Pick the shank of your choice and season it.
-Cook the shanks and make the sauce.
-The platter may be prepared up to 3 days in advance and warmed up in a 300 degrees oven for 20 minutes.
-Serve the platter as is or with Orzo pasta, crunchy bread or even with risotto.
-Left over of the Osso Bucco can be stored in the fridge for 3 days and warmed up in the oven.
-Likewise, leftover shanks make awesome sandwiches and wraps. Leftover steamed veggies make awesome salads, soups and more! So feel free to play around with leftovers to make new meals.
