What do you guys think about Ossobuco with beef shanks instead of veal? Veal is hard to get at the moment.
If it tastes good then there's nothing wrong with it. Recipes and dishes are more an application of technique and flavours than a set of rules.
Venison shanks work really well too, especially paired with a nice fresh lemony gremolata. -

Sounds good. Any recommendations when cooking beef rather than veal?
I think you can treat it the same? Veal is juvenile beef so the older meat will have more fat. The other cut I love is oxtail. Gelatinous goodness

@tim 'traditional' Osso Bucco is quite delicate and you aren't going to get that same lightness with beef but that doesn't mean it won't be tasty to follow the same method. As @canefan says, throw in some tendon or a split marrow bone for depth to the flavour. The gremolata adds back 'freshness' when you eat it.
Another option I often use for slow cooked meat dishes is a side of Silverbeet sautéed with plenty of garlic and finished with lemon juice and zest. Kind of a substantial gremolata. -
mmmm I'm tending towards South East Asian flavours lately particularly with my braises but might just have to go all Italian tomorrow and sit down in front of the footy with some osso bucco and a Barolo.
It's entirely the wrong time of day here but I am sitting at my desk salivating remembering my first osso bucco almost 40 years ago at a trattoria in Padua. So fucking good I went back again the next night. Coming from NZ something as simple but with such a flavour punch as fresh gremolata just blew me away

anyone have a good recipe for sweet chilli sauce?
I have used a couple of different recipes with one being substantially better than the last, but still keen to try another variant.

Made a variation on Florence Fabricant's Osso Buco recipe. It was pretty good. Served with pappardelle.

I'd be fascinated taking the Pepsi challenge with a beef hamburger

I live in town these days so have had to put the smoker away but have a reasonable courtyard so picked up a Masterchef 6 burner so I have something over the summer.
Anyone cook with gas on here? Any tips/tricks or good recipes you've had success with? I will miss using the smoker

How come you can't use a smoker?

@Hooroo I'm at the bottom of an apartment block, I'd smoke out all the people above me every time I put wood on it which would not go down too well given people kick up a fuss about a single cigarette.

You could get a smoker box. Less smoke, especially if you soak the chips; you'll get a little bit of smoke from the wood chips

Really unsure where best to post this. Could just as easily be the Beer Thread or Awesome Stuff You See on the Internet
This Saturday there's a BEER AND BACON FESTIVAL incorporating the NZ Bacon Eating Champs

Don't care about care about the rest of you poncy twats but after the rugby tonight we had camp fire in the back yard and did sausies on the hot plate.
Reminds me if this:
