About Osso buco

Osso Buco is a traditional Italian dish, originating from the Lombardy region, celebrated for its rich flavors and hearty composition. The name, meaning "bone with a hole," refers to the veal shank's cross-cut presentation, centered around a marrow-filled bone. Typically braised, the veal is cooked until tender in a vibrant sauce of white wine, tomatoes, onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, all infused with herbs like thyme and bay leaf. Served alongside risotto or polenta, it’s a comforting and balanced meal. Osso Buco boasts a good protein content thanks to the veal, while its marrow provides beneficial fats and nutrients. The vegetables contribute fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins. However, the dish can be high in saturated fats depending on preparation and portion size, making moderation key for a healthier indulgence. A lighter variation opts for leaner meats and reduced oil for more nutrition-friendly enjoyment.
