What is it?

What is it?

Good question. No answer. I don't know, either.

braised veal shank. They cut the leg bone in horizontal slices, and there is lots of flavor in the bones, and it is filled with marrow, with a bit of meat on the outside.

here is a google image of some osso buco. This is traditionally how I've seen it served.

And here is something to help get at the marrow. Slurp!

Oh, yum! Big D's favorite Italian dish. Wish we were there, Alli!

BTW if you're in Atlanta and have a jones for ossobuco and can't get to the beach to try Alli's, try Antica Posta in Buckhead.

we would have SO been there. Mr. IBD's favorite!

How did it turn out?? good I am sure.... can you fed ex some for me??

It was wonderful! I made 15 specials and we sold out!
I made mine a bit lighter, I braised the shanks, added sauteed panchetta, carrots, celery, onions and garlic. Deglazed with white wine and chicken stock. Roasted in the oven for 2 hours. I made smoked gouda polenta and finished the dish with the traditional gremolata (Finely minced Italian parsley, garlic and lemon zest.)

You should meet my friend Kathy. I think you were seperated at birth. You speak the same language

Recipe is not in the book...I can post it in the dining section.
I purchased the veal from our meat vendor...but you should be able to find it at Publix...or ask if they can get it for you!

Thanks Allifun. I'll look for the recipe and head to Publix. I'm also going to try and make the polenta, never have before but it sure sounds good.

The polenta was very easy to make and can be found at Publix as well. I used chicken stock instead of water and added some half & half to make it creamy.

I'll post the recipe here...today!

YUM! And more YUM. I make it when we are home in Memphis during the winter months amd serve it with polenta adding cream, chicken stock and an organic goat cheese. Always top with the gremolata, serve with a slightly chilled bottle of Amarone, garlic bread and mange!
