About Osso bucco

Osso Buco, meaning "bone with a hole" in Italian, is a traditional Milanese dish made with braised veal shanks. The key ingredients include veal, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, white wine, broth, and herbs like bay leaves and thyme, often served with a gremolata garnish of lemon zest, parsley, and garlic. It is typically paired with creamy risotto or polenta, emphasizing its roots in Northern Italian cuisine. Rich in protein, iron, and essential nutrients from the bone marrow, Osso Buco supports muscle health and energy production. The slow cooking process allows the flavors to develop while tenderizing the meat, making it a highlight of wholesome comfort food. However, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, depending on the preparation, making portion control important. When paired with nutrient-dense sides and mindful seasoning, it can be an indulgent yet balanced addition to a healthy diet.
