Osso buco is a dish made with slow-braised shanks. Gremolata, a combination of parsley, lemon rind, and garlic, is a traditional finishing touch. Serve with polenta or mashed potatoes.

One of my favorite recipes ever from CL! Rich, hearty & tons of flavor. I would rate this equal to the best restaurant Osso Buco I have had. The gremolata is the crowning touch. I have also made with veal shoulder, when shanks were not readily available. Often sold at the grocery store, cut up as for stew. Same beautiful veal flavor.

This is SO delicious. I fixed this for a celebration dinner for my husband and me. I had to go out for a little while and since I cook on gas, I decided to put it in the oven at 275 while I was gone, about an hour. It worked perfectly. I added a little orange rind also, as I had read Julia Child's recipe and she had both, so why not! Also the dressing on the spinach salad I fixed had both in it. I will definitely fix this again.
