Notes
This is the best Osso Buco I have ever tasted, (if I say so myself). My cousin Rose Ann told me her parents made this all the time, and she inspired me to make it for my viewers. I was happy I made a good choice & listened to her. Rose Ann said, “Well It’s About Time”! Osso Buco comes from an Italian region called Lombardy and is from the 19th century. This recipe is made with Beef Shanks or Veal. The Sauce is a blend of assorted carrots, onion, celery and one nontraditional veggie, one of my favorites, asparagus. Add in some tomato paste, marinara, beef broth and a little red wine & it becomes heaven……. Don’t pass this up and make it for your family and friends - Vito!
