hi Ice, thanks a lot for your comment and feedback... u did a nice twist also with your shanks... im glad u liked it... i hope everything goes fine with your tiramisu... you are welcome and thanks once again... :-)
Hi Peachy -- I tried this recipe just last night as I had some beef shank in the freezer. The only thing was that the meat was so tough I had to boil it for almost 2 1/2 hours. It's a good thing my friends were running late for dinner. I also added some leftover red and white wine to the mixture and some red pepper and carrots to add more color. It actually came out looking a lot like the dish osso busso but the taste was delicious even though I forgot to add oyster sauce. I also cooked your zucchini fritata recipe minus the meat so we could have a veggie dish and it also came out great. I cook a similar Spanish dish called tortilla de patata and it uses cubed potatoes, onions, chopped ham and some shredded cheese. Tomorrow I'm going to try and make your tiramisu - it looks like it's not a lot of work. Thanks again and keep cooking.
