Osso Buco

Osso Buco is a traditional Italian dish featuring cross-cut veal shanks cooked slowly with vegetables, white wine, and broth. The name means "bone with a hole," referring to the marrow-filled bone center. The slow braising process results in tender, flavorful meat with a rich, gelatinous sauce that is often served with gremolata (a lemon, garlic, and parsley condiment). It's commonly accompanied by risotto or polenta, allowing diners to savor the depth of the aromatic broth and the tender, marrow-filled bones.
