Ossobuco, a classic Italian dish that delights with its flavor, aroma, and tender meat.
The name “ossobuco” comes from the Italian “osso buco,” meaning “bone with a hole,” as the dish is made from veal shanks with the bone in. Through slow braising, the meat becomes soft and delicate, and the broth is rich in flavor. This Lombardian gem is a real treat to try at home.

- 4 veal shank slices with the bone, each about 300 g
