Veal Osso Buco

Veal Osso Buco is a delicious, rustic dish made with veal shanks and simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand.
Veal osso buco is a tried and true recipe that I have been making for years. I actually posted this on the blog shortly after I started blogging.
The photos were horrendous, so I felt that I needed to re-post the recipe with better photos because it’s so delicious and I know you’re going to want to try it yourself.
Not only is this recipe easy, it’s also incredibly delicious. The veal is tender and mildly flavored and the dish is finished with a parsley, garlic and lemon zest gremolata which gives the dish a bright pop of fresh flavor making this meal over the top good.
I like to serve osso buco over orzo, but it would also be delicious over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
The great thing about osso buco is that it’s mostly hands off. After you do some chopping and sauteing, it cooks low and slow for a couple of hours.
It’s a great dish to entertain with because it doesn’t require a lot of last minute attention. It just simmers on the stove until you’re ready to eat, which is also great when you want to have a leisurely evening with your family.
