If you are looking for a quick alternative to a traditional Giouvetsi recipe (baked lamb with orzo), try this delicious stove-cooked Kritharaki with Veal Osso Bucco.

You can use any meat of your choice and replace with chicken instead of red meat, however Flavours & Flair recommends pieces with bone, as it adds more flavour to the dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 x kilo veal Osso Bucco
  • 5 x ripe tomatoes
  • 1 x Spanish onion, chopped
  • 1 x tablespoon tomato puree
  • 500 x grams Kritharaki (orzo)
  • 1 x cup white wine
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • Kefalograviera, to garnish
  • 1 x litre water

Method

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan.
  • Add onion and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add meat and saute for a couple of minutes on each side.
  • Add white wine, tomato paste, pureed tomatoes, salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for 3 minutes on high heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon.
  • Cover the saucepan, reduce to medium heat and allow to cook for 45 minutes.
  • Lift the lid and add 1 x litre water.
  • Add Kritharaki and stir well.
  • Allow to cook for about 20 minutes, stirring constantly as pasta sticks together very quickly.
  • Serve with grated cheese.
