Serving suggestions - serve your Ossobuco with Risotto alla Milanese (saffron risotto) or any risotto you like, creamy polenta or mashed potatoes would also work really well - don't forget the crusty bread! Gremolata - it sounds fancy but it takes 2 minutes to make. Finely chop up fresh parsley, garlic and lemon zest and sprinkle it over the veal shanks right before serving. Trust me, you don't want to skip it! Dust the veal in flour - this is an important step for thickening your sauce!

Instructions

Step 1

Sprinkle the veal shanks with salt and press it into it so it sticks. Put the flour on a plate and dust all sides of the veal shanks in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

Heat 1-2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Once hot, brown the veal on both sides. Remove and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

To stop the ossobuco from falling apart while it cooks you can tie each piece with kitchen string. This is only necessary for presentation purposes and doesn’t affect the flavour.

Step 4

Make the sauce

Step 5

Heat more olive oil in the same pan you browned the veal if necessary then add the finely chopped carrot, celery and onion. Saute the vegetables on a medium heat until softened but not browned. Add the garlic and saute for 1 more minute.

Step 6

Next, add the white wine and reduce the liquid by half. Add the chicken stock and tomato paste and stir to combine.

Step 7

Add the herbs and place the veal back into the pan with the sauce. Cover with a lid and simmer gently for 2 hours.

Step 8

After 2 hours, remove the lid and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.

Step 9

Serve topped with gremolata.
