Ingredients

2 to 3 pounds veal osso buco (3 to 4 shanks, each 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus 3 sprigs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small carrot, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
1 celery stalk, chopped
1/2 leek, green and white parts, roughly chopped
1/4 chopped fennel, chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups veal stock or chicken stock
3 cups dry white wine
2 tablespoons golden raisins
3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup finishing extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped lemon zest
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 white onion, finely chopped
2 cups arborio rice
2 cups dry white wine
8 cups hot chicken stock
3 cups finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus more for serving
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

For the veal: Sprinkle the veal on both sides with the oregano, 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoons pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Heat the vegetable oil in a 6-quart Instant Pot® on the saute setting over medium-high heat (see Cook's Note). Add the veal to the pot and cook until seared and golden brown on both sides, about 7 minutes total.
Add the carrots, celery, leeks, fennel, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and parsley sprigs. Cook until softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Add the veal stock and wine. Secure the lid and cook on low pressure, 1 hour 30 minutes.
Remove the pressure cooker from the heat and, using the quick-release valve, carefully open.
Remove the veal and reserve. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pot. Cook over medium-high heat, skimming the surface to remove impurities, until reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the butter until melted.
Stir the veal and remaining 1 tablespoon chopped parsley into the reduced sauce.
For the gremolata: Soak the raisins in water until rehydrated and plump, 10 minutes. Chop the raisins, transfer to a small bowl and mix with the parsley, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon zest and salt. Set aside.
For the risotto: Heat the olive oil in a large or 16-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft and translucent, 5 minutes. Add the rice, reduce to low heat and toast until the rice begins to smell nutty but does not have any color, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring continuously, until the wine is absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes. Ladle the hot chicken stock into the rice in increments, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Stir in the cheese, butter and parsley.
To serve, spoon the risotto on platter, top with the veal garnish with grated Parmigiano Reggiano and the gremolata.
