Recipe VIDEO above. Meltingly tender veal shanks slow cooked in a tomato sauce, a classic Italian dish! This is traditionally served with Risotto Milanese (saffron risotto) but is also terrific over mashed potato, polenta and even pasta. Gremolata is also served with Osso Buco and it provides a fantastic freshness to contrast with the richness of this dish.
