Here’s something I haven’t made in a long time. Always so good.
Especially with fairly good looking veal marrow bones.
Veal Osso Bucco with Gremolata
6 veal shank slices
Salt and pepper
Flour
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 carrots, diced
2 celery branches, diced
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cup veal broth
1 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 bay leaf
1 handful of fresh parsley, chopped
1 zest of a whole lemon, grated
Juice from 1 lemon
Fleur de sel
Season the veal with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour and brown in the oil and butter. Remove and set aside. Add the onion, 2/3 garlic, carrots and celery to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the wine and broth, then boil for about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bay leaf and veal, bring to a boil, cover and then simmer for about 1 1/2 hours.
Mix the parsley, remaining garlic and lemon zest together.
Place the veal on a serving platter, stir the lemon juice into the sauce then ladle over the meat. Sprinkle with the gremolata and fleur de sel. Serve with pasta or mashed potatoes.
Excellent – most people seem to have forgotten Gremolata, which adds a different flavour entirely 😉
Thank you. I had forgotten gremolata 🙂
I haven’t made this in a while either. Your lovely photos have inspired me to do so…
Thank you. It’s good to back to some of those tried and true recipes.
this looks colorful and delish, and as usual, your photos are fantastic !
Thank you Trang 🙂

Thanks Greg.
Beautiful. I use gremolate quite often but haven’t cooked osso buco for years…time to hunt down the ingredients!
Gremolata is good but I’ve only used it this way. What are other uses?
Looks absolutely lovely. I love gremolata, it makes anything taste amazing!
Thank you.
I love what you do with these comparatively inexpensive cuts. Very nice, Rosemary!
Thank you Daisy. I adore shank cuts in both lamb and veal.
Yum.
