About Ossobuco

Ossobuco is a traditional Italian dish, originating from the Lombardy region, celebrated for its rich flavors and hearty appeal. The name "Ossobuco" translates to "bone with a hole," referring to the cross-cut veal shank used in the recipe, which contains a marrow-filled bone. It is braised slowly in a flavorful mixture of white wine, broth, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and tomatoes, often seasoned with herbs like bay leaves and thyme. Typically served with risotto or polenta, Ossobuco is a protein-rich dish, enriched by the collagen and nutrients from the marrow. While it provides essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron and zinc, its calorie content and fat levels can be significant due to the meat and marrow. Opting for leaner cuts or moderating portion sizes can make it a more balanced meal. This comforting dish is a classic example of Italian culinary tradition.
