Fancy a sensational twist on a classic Ossobuco Milanese? Here’s my very own recipe with grilled and roasted shark instead of veal or beef.
Super fresh fish of the day from ISH Seafood London.

Recipe:
1. Fillet the fish (shark) as shown in this reel.
2. Cure the shark steaks in a 10% salt water bath for 20-30 min. then rinse well and pat dry (this cure works super well with most fish!).
3. Roast the cartilage or fish bones at 200C for about 45 min. Or until golden brown. Roast your mirepoix in a saucepan, add tomato paste, deglaze with the wine and reduce to a glaze. Add the roasted bones, cover with water, add the bouquet garni and simmer gently for 1.5 – 2 hours. Pass through a fine sieve, reduce until syrupy and add a little butter.
4. Risotto Milanese: sweat down the shallots, then coat the rice for a couple of minutes. Deglaze with wine, add the saffron and keep ladling the warm stock bit by bit until absorbed by the rice. Finish by folding in the butter and parmesan.
5. Gremolata: combine finely chopped parsley and the remaining ingredients and add just enough olive oil to cover the mix.
6. Dust the shark steaks or fish fillets with flour and sear on both sides until golden and finish by roasting them at 140C for 10 min. Serve everything together family style on a big sharing platter. Enjoy!
