Ossobuco the old fashion way with a twist

ossobuco the old fashion way with a twist
Ossobuco is a traditional Italian dish, meaning "bone with a hole". It consists of braised veal shanks cooked with vegetables, white wine and broth. The veal shanks are usually cross-cut, which exposes the bone marrow and adds richness to the dish as it cooks. The meat is seasoned with salt, pepper and flour before being browned in a pan. The addition of carrots, onions and garlic creates a flavourful base for the braising liquid. Ossobuco is slowly simmered until the meat is tender and falling off the bone, resulting in a rich and savoury dish with a deep, complex flavour profile. It is often served with gremolata, a garnish made from lemon zest, garlic, and parsley, which adds a fresh and vibrant contrast to the rich ossobuco. This dish is a classic comfort food in Italian cuisine and is typically accompanied by with risotto, polenta or mashed potatoes
