Ossobuco is a classic Italian dish made from slices of veal shank braised for hours in a spicy tomato sauce. The bone marrow that sits in the bones is considered a natural flavor enhancer, which ensures that the braised dish is particularly spicy and hearty.
The northern Italian cuisine around Milan has conjured up other world-famous dishes, such as risotto alla milanese, which is seasoned and colored with saffron. A creamy polenta is also a must on the plates of northern Italy and is also the perfect accompaniment to ossocbuco.
