About Bucco
Bucco is a flavorful Italian dish made from a specific cut of beef shank braised slowly to tender perfection. Its name derives from "ossobuco," meaning "bone with a hole," as this cut includes the marrow bone, imparting rich flavor and creamy texture. Typically prepared with aromatics like onions, carrots, celery, and white wine, the dish is simmered in a tomato-based sauce or a lighter broth, depending on regional variations. While Bucco is rich in protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc, thanks to the beef shank and marrow, it can also be high in saturated fats depending on preparation. Traditionally served with risotto or polenta, this hearty entrée is a staple of Northern Italian cuisine, particularly Milan. For a healthier version, leaner cuts of beef or reduced fats in the recipe can be used, preserving its robust flavors while aligning with dietary concerns.
