The EASIEST Osso Buco Recipe Ever!
Serious Eats / Robby Lozano
If there’s one type of wine I like to always have on hand it’s boxed wine. I know that sounds strange but there’s a reason: I use it in cooking. Cooking with wine can be tricky as recipes sometimes call for half a cup or two liters. It often puts you in the awkward position of having to decide whether to open a bottle just for that half cup or whether it’s really worth pouring a large amount of wine into a dish.
I know this is where most people chime in and say I’ll tell you what to do with the leftover wine: drink it. And yes that’s sometimes a fun option but the truth is I don’t always want to drink wine just because it’s open. Boxed wine solves my dilemma. First there are some pretty good boxed wines available these days some good enough to drink and many good enough to cook with. (We shared a few of our favorite boxed wines a few years ago in case you’re curious.) Second boxed wine tends to cost less than bottles because shipping is cheaper (shipping cardboard is cheaper than shipping heavier glass bottles). And third it keeps much longer after opening thanks to the airtight bags inside the box that collapse when you pour the wine. All you have to do is pour as much as you need from the spout and save the rest for later.
