Veal Osso Buco

Osso Buco means hollow bone, which refers to the marrow-filled bone in the cut of shank. This is a common veal dish sold in white-table cloth restaurants. The term osso buco doesn’t refer to the type of protein, it refers to the cut of meat.
This recipe begins with tying the veal shanks with twine to hold the cut together as they are cooked on low and slow in a Dutch oven. Broiling the osso buco for two hours creates a tender fall off the bone meal. Great way to impress your guests or for a romantic dinner in. This classic Italian combination is best served over mashed potatoes or with roasted vegetables.

  4. Next, add the butter to the Dutch oven and once melted add in the onions, celery and carrot.
