About Osobuco

Osobuco, a classic Italian dish originating from Lombardy, is a flavorful braised veal shank typically cooked with vegetables, white wine, and broth. The term "osobuco" translates to "bone with a hole," referring to the marrow-filled bone at the center of the cut. This slow-cooked dish is renowned for its tender, fall-off-the-bone meat and rich, savory flavors, often served with risotto or polenta. Nutritionally, osobuco is a good source of protein, iron, and essential nutrients from the bone marrow. However, it is relatively high in fat, particularly saturated fats, due to the marrow and the cut of veal used. Prepared traditionally, osobuco contains moderate calories, but variations with added oils or richer ingredients may increase its energy density. Pairing with vegetables or whole grains can boost its fiber content and create a more balanced meal.
