This broth recipe can be used as a base for sauces or soups but is also great for sipping as is. With a longer cooking time than stock, and the addition of Osso Buco, this broth has a hearty dose of marrow and gelatin giving it an extremely rich mouthfeel.
While this broth has a myriad of uses, we like ours with a little salt, lime juice, chopped ginger, and a couple slices of a Thai bird or spicy chili. It really wakes you up on a cold day.
