Stewed Veal Knuckle or Shank (Ossobuco) recipe
information
Ossobuco is one of the great dishes of Milan, although it is now found throughout Italy. The gremolada, a spicy mixture of lemon rind, garlic and parsley, is a specifically Milanaise addition to the dish. When you put the veal pieces into the casserole, try to arrange them in one layer if possible, so that they will retain the marrow in the centre. It is traditionally served with Risotto alia Milanese.
