Osso Buco
One of the most enjoyable things about finding an interesting recipe is sharing it with other food lovers. John and Fran Bonscher, good friends in New Jersey, called one cold, windy day to tell us about their Osso Buco recipe. It was just right for the weather, and we are passing it along. This dish of braised veal shanks is traditionally served with risotto or pasta. We prefer the pasta option, particularly when we have taken time to make fresh pasta. The gremolata is a garnish made by combining lemon rind, garlic and parsley which is sprinkled over the dish just before serving. We have occasionally had trouble finding veal shanks when we want them - it's probably a good idea to phone your butcher ahead of time and place an order.
