Lamb Shank Osso Buco with Karen Akunowicz

Karen Akunowiscz, chef/owner of Boston’s Fox & the Knife and Bar Volpe, makes her version of osso buco, a classic braised Italian dish. Karen uses lamb shank for her osso buco and adds rose harissa in her braise for a unique flavor, and makes a rich saffron risotto and a bright herb gremolata spiked with ginger.

Her voice has charms. I hope I can try this recipe using beef shank.

[@kianvahedi960]

Thats the original recipe, veal shank

[@joel.saucedo]

Love her voice, I could hear her talk for hours.

[@kanguwan572]

Mantap baget guys

[@leechrec]

Was about to say the same thing

[@MarshalofFrance]

She may have missed her calling to do voiceovers !

[@MohamadAmerulZufar]

Her partner is a lucky woman.

[@sachindey3242]

She sounds like an angel

[@sooperman12]

She's got a great radio/podcast voice.

[@ddrz09]

She has a voice for media for real

[@warzoneboidems]

Such a lovely chef. I see her as being a wonderful patient mentor.

[@dantedekoker7584]

give her a show immediately

[@oliverwan1520]

She's very cool I love her. Also love this series - the fact that all the recipes are tried and tested and are famous dishes at famous restaurants lets you know it's a damn good recipe

[@amandaquinn6264]

Absolute beast on Top Chef. Gotta make a trip out to her restaurants. You can tell she cooks with love

[@gretafernandez2859]

Where are restaurants

[@Slow-wipe]

such a clear communicator

[@newestgirlz]

I looove her voice.

[@sadeekali5294]

First Karen we can all agree we can love

Is this the dish Jan made in the Dinner Party episode of the Office?

[@june_keke]

Yes, lol. I was just thinking that 😭

[@BrainDancer]

Her vocal delivery is quite good.

[@wortaz]

What a pleasant voice :D. Also YES MOAR LAMB !

[@jonesdoe1]

Her voice is incredible. I would listen to an audiobook or podcast with her

[@xMamoo2011]

This recipe looks great and rather simple to make at home. Going to have to try this sometime

[@Aholeintheozone]

She's awesome! Harissa sounds like a great addition.

[@juliuscaesart]

Need this in my life

[@TomasGregovich]

As an italian from Lombardia I can telll this is not traditional at all. Lamb is not a meat we use a whole lot (horse meat is actually much more common if you can believe that). I must say this looks delicious anyway and the video was great to watch thanks to the chef's soothing voice.

[@Teogalla1985]

Sono d’accordo con te….e’ un peccato che sta gente si inventano chef quando fanno solo cazzate in cucina. Ha fatto il risotto bollito con il brodo di pollo…what a shame

[@carriehampton3513]

I love Karen - so thrilled to see her making something so delicious!

[@nicoleswartz9945]

The time is 01:51....I don't know this Lady..... but damn she needs to cook for me. Much love from South Africa ❤

[@rozieboss154]

Seriously blown away by the saffron in the wine, can't wait to try it

[@bibiflipsi3073]

This dish looks amazing. But as a Persian, I was shocked by how she used all those beautiful threads of Saffron! You can easily use a tenth of what is advised in this recipe. Bloom it properly (ie grinding saffron and brew it for a few minutes) and poor it on your risotto shortly before it is done.

[@papa_pt]

holy shit yeah that was a ton of saffron. plus the taste of it can get overpowering pretty quickly

[@delishuspear]

damn near like 20 bucks' worth lmao. looks amazing though!

[@SanskarWagley]

She was on Top Chef, right?

[@BXBejita]

This is the most attractive chef I’ve ever seen ❤️

[@melefth]

Karen cooks like my father, who was Cypriot and a chef/restauranteur, which is to say she's imposing standard Western restaurant cooking onto Mediterranean cuisine. My dad learned to cook at catering college in the UK, not from his mum, and spent 30 years in a French-food environment before returning to his roots. So I learned from him to be liberal with the salt (I should note, though, Karen, that he had several heart attacks in later life!!), to brown the garlic before adding the onions (or here, bizarrely, the celery and carrot before the onions) and many more inauthentic things. Of course, it wasn't until I moved to Greece in the Eighties, got married and watched my mother-in-law at work in the kitchen, that I realized how inauthentic his cooking was... Anyway, one last thing, when my mother-in-law or any of her numerous sisters made a dish with even a tad too much salt (i.e. around a tenth of the amount Karen used here, or less!), she would damn her cooking by calling it 'tasty', which--in the end--is something restaurant food tries to be. Proper home-cooked food strives to be authentic, healthy, welcoming and a whole lot more.

[@viktorcheng2061]

She has a nice radio voice

[@nicksoulodre6250]

Same energy as Giada but with the added bonus of badass energy. Probably be pretty cool to have a couple drinks and a good conversation with Karen... Edited to add that you're all kinds of welcome to cook for my wife, my son and myself anytime......as long as you let us reciprocate :P

[@BashIpsen]

Why the music?

[@smiragnusbrowne4867]

i really like the look of this karen. must try. thanks.

[@emilsn91]

This is actually an insane dish. I will recreate it for sure. Awesome.

[@SD-kp6fj]

She’s great and great salt

[@patriziavitelli1279]

She’s an amazing cook. I just can’t find the recipe?! Can someone send over this delicious dish recipe please? I appreciate it. 👏🏻

[@dandy90]

Definitely trying this recipe next week. I'll report back.

[@ir1041]

About $300 worth of saffron right there

[@frozentigerz7]

Yeah she used wayyy to much saffron than what you actually need

[@omiomardreamer0929]

Awesomeness

[@KRayxKodessA]

I liked her on Top Chef.

[@shawnfoodfever]

wow😍😍 drooling, thanks for sharing chef 😋😋

what a cool dish. can’t wait to make it!

[@LexWick]

rings on! yes I love it :)

[@kanguwan572]

Mantep Bu..semoga chanel bisa menjadi Chanel besar

[@PatrickRyan147]

She is not afraid to use salt 👍👍

[@JohnDoe-gy3yy]

The entire point of osso buco, as its name suggests, is to have bone barrow braised with the meat, which is why lamb is not common for osso buco (it's meant to be veal). So, this isn't osso buco, it's just a lamb stew.

[@gibsonraffiel]

i got a cookbook with this recipe never cooked it. but vice cosigns it now imma make it #hypebeast

[@andrewfarrell6120]

Mmmmmmm.

[@96leRoi]

Crazy music. Who did that

[@davidsihite2864]

She's awesome & beautiful too ❤

[@spicysmooth2]

Ginger in gremolata? Galaxy brain

[@nicholascrow8133]

Osso buco refers to the cut of the meat as much as the recipe. She made lamb shanks. They look great, no need to try to be fancy in the wording for the sake of it... Oh she was on top chef? Go figure...

[@martinr5922]

Great presenter

[@B-Rad]

the nicest sounding Karen on the net

[@jflores85]

I suddenly want to throw a trophy at a small flat screen tv.

[@frozentigerz7]

I like that she adds a "mediterranean touch" to what already is mediterranean.

[@pandascout]

I believe she said middle eastern

[@melefth]

Lombardy too far North to be 'Mediterranean', I'd say. Definitely Northern Italy, with more northern cuisine. Sicily, on the other hand...

[@TuckerTirey]

I need an explanation of this background music

[@fl3782]

That is a LOT of saffron

[@rohandaftary22]

Lots of love to Karen.. but that must be some really bad saffron.. if it was half decent you would require 8-9 strands to impart both flavour and colour..

[@tornoblique]

Wow you must be a genius

[@holaholafelipito]

I don’t know her but she’s so cute for a second I thought she was cooking for me🥺

[@thedeeprot]

🎧🎧🎧

[@sih1095]

So.. Its not Osso Buco then . So why not call it something else.?

[@misio87]

Wasn't that garlic burnt?

[@melefth]

Definitely! It would have spoilt the whole thing. And not searing the meat... you're running the risk of boiling all the flavour out. That may be why she needs the harissa, but... if she hadn't put that on, she could have seared. Basically, she didn't do a single thing I've learned to do after 35 years cooking in the Med...

[@aleratz]

Does she want to talk to the manager?

[@Ryan_Rides]

Severely not feeling the high tempo background music.

[@callumyoung]

Why is she Patricia Arquette from Severance? It’s been edited by an insane person as well

[@SimpleCookingC]

Excellent, Enjoyed the Video Very Much, Thank you for Uploading the great Video, All the best to you 💕....and stay connected 👍🔥👌❣️👏🌈💫🌟⭐✨ Friend✨⭐🌟

[@JohnDoe-gy3yy]

that's like 20$ worth of saffron woah

[@BobbyFugazzi]

Soffritto*

[@conzo2166]

Bruh thats atleast 60 dollars worth of saffron

[@pieterhamers2583]

Great recipe. But i'm wondering why you should marinate the meat, because it's gonna cook low and slow anyway. :p Also no need to bloom the saffron, it's gonna bloom for about 20min anyway, while you cook the risotto.

[@henneberrymike]

She just dumped like $120 of saffron in that wine …

[@dukejason]

lol take your ring off lol.

[@normacroberts-hakizimana8785]

Yes! That's the truth!!

[@johnsmit3573]

You just can't cook. Garlic first? Onions last? You don't know what you are doing.

[@bakingwithgrace]

Omg! So many comments but mainly. Too much saffron and you should infuse it into a warm liquid. Stir your risotto for gods sake And if you’re making an Italian dish surely it’s called Sofrito not Mirepoix. 🤦‍♂️

[@phone9732]

good god woman, you skip the marinade because of the sear not the sear because of the marinade. that poor lamb.

[@smiragnusbrowne4867]

that's a LOT of salt!!!

[@misssabina235]

Is she single? I want to marry her 😍lol

[@Teogalla1985]

Ma perché non lasci stare i piatti come sono nati invece di rovinarli? Cook stuff from you country and don’t ruin ours…

[@nobutoneme1325]

I grew up and live in the region where osso buco originated, I hate this. Will not elaborate further

[@Teogalla1985]

Agree…this is a shame

[@Antony2790]

this ain't osso buco

[@ByronLumley2009]

The salt though

[@bouhsouhail]

Sorry but that is toooo much saffron

[@capm_alive]

Puran Yantra 😂😅

[@jackn6441]

Nice girl but she must be a karren of camera

[@chadharrison2042]

Watching her walk away from the risotto and prep the gremolata drove me nuts. Not continuously stirring risotto goes against everything I know.

[@Teogalla1985]

Yep! And risotto with chicken stock???!!!!! Shameless

[@jakeydelacakey7698]

Say risotto better. F my life.

[@yanooo2007]

too much of a tv cooking show vibe

[@jewsaregenocidalhores]

no.

[@simonabocanela4233]

It's named "putanesca" pasta, not "putunesca"

[@chawkichalladia1812]

wtf is rose harissa 🤨🤨

[@macneill949]

She burnt the garlic. You’re not supposed to brown garlic in Italian soffritto

[@saminsiddiquee2059]

Too much talking

[@kevzeman]

@4:21 you're not tho

[@DeathCrunch]

Not Farideh, not interested.

[@seanrobison5327]

👎. How about a complete recipe and not reference to your sexuality. However looks delicious. I’m sure your a wonderful chef. But let’s keep the main thing the main thing.

[@taggart881]

Come on dude. She only referenced her sexuality in passing, not to make some kind of statement. It’s not like she was shouting “I love women!!’” Every 2 minutes. Almost every chef on KZbin tells little stories about themselves and if she’d said “I started cooking to impress a guy,” it’d probably go completely unnoticed. Also, as with every how-to video on this channel, the recipe is in the description.

[@SabrinasDigitalLife]

Dude almost every chef on TV tells a story about themselves or their spouses while they are cooking. What you mad cause she gay… you jackal! Look in the mirror dude, look in the F-ing mirror

[@melefth]

THe recipes' there if you look. I don't like how she cooked this dish, but I loved the way she addressed us all so naturally and engagingly as she murdered the lamb... :)
