- Pour off excess oil and deglaze the pan with apple juice. Add the venison, beef stock, and herbs. Cook in a preheated oven at 120°C for 4 hours. Add the shallots and cook for another 30 minutes until the meat is tender.
- Carefully remove the meat and shallots from the pan and keep warm. Reduce the roasting juices over high heat until glossy. Return the meat and shallots to the pan and glaze the meat. Keep aside in a warm place until serving.
- Heat the milk and water together in a large pan. When warm, slowly add the polenta while stirring.
- Once the polenta starts to thicken to a creamy consistency, stir in the butter and olive oil and season with pepper, salt, and lemon zest.
- Make a tomato salsa from the ingredients.
- Serve the ossobuco on a generous portion of polenta and serve with the salsa.
