Ossobuco alla Milanese image

Ossobuco is one of the signature dishes of Milanese cuisine. Veal shanks are cut crosswise to reveal the marrow, a cut often just referred to as 'ossobucco'. The dish is finished with a gremolata, which is a mix of chopped parsley and lemon zest. In Milan, ossobucco is typically served with a saffron risotto.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 veal shanks, sliced for ossobuco
1 dash all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter, or to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped carrot
½ cup white wine
1 tablespoon tomato puree
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup beef stock
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Slit the skin around the veal shanks in 2 or 3 places so that slices do not curl when cooked. Dust veal shanks with flour.
  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and carrot; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add veal shanks; cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Pour in white wine and simmer until reduced, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir tomato puree, salt, and pepper into the skillet. Pour in beef stock gradually, stirring between each addition. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, turning veal shanks occasionally, until tender, about 55 minutes.
  • Mix parsley and lemon zest together in a small bowl. Stir into the skillet. Cook until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
