Osso buco
Osso Buco is a traditional Italian dish made with veal shanks. The name of the dish comes from the Italian words for "bone" (oss) and "hole" or "shank" (buco).
The dish is thought to have originated in Lombardy, Northern Italy, in the Middle Ages. It was traditionally a peasant dish, made with whatever ingredients were available. The most common version of the dish is made with veal shanks, but other versions can be made with beef, pork, or lamb.
Osso Buco is usually served with a side of polenta or risotto, and garnished with a lemon wedge. It can also be served with a variety of other sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted vegetables.
Advice
When making osso buco, it is important to take your time. Braising is a slow process and the longer you let the meat and vegetables cook, the more tender and flavorful your osso buco will be. Make sure to brown the meat, then add the vegetables, herbs and liquids to the pan. Allow the osso buco to simmer and reduce the liquids until the meat falls off the bone. Finally, serve the osso buco with the reduced sauce, creamy polenta, or a side of roasted vegetables to complete the dish.
