Description

Ossobuco alla Milanese — braised veal cross-cut shank (the name means "bone with a hole") — is the paradigm of Italian collagen-rich braising. The veal shank's combination of bone, marrow, and heavily collagenous connective tissue produces a braising liquid of extraordinary richness and body when correctly cooked. The gremolata (raw lemon zest, garlic, and parsley applied at service) is not garnish — it is the volatile aromatic counterpoint that the richness of the braise absolutely requires.
