It is often garnished with gremolata and traditionally served with either risotto alla milanese or polenta, depending on the regional variation. There are two types of ossobuco : a modern version that has tomatoes and the original version which does not. The older version, ossobuco in bianco, is flavoured with cinnamon, bay leaf and gremolata. The modern and more popular recipe includes tomatoes, carrots, celery and onions ; gremolata is optional. While veal is the traditional meat used for Ossobuco other meats such as pork may be used. Contents 1 Name 2 Preparation 3 Accompaniments 4 See also 5 References Name Veal shank Ossobuco or osso buco is Italian for `` bone with a hole '' ( osso `` bone '', buco `` hole '' ), a reference to the marrow hole at the centre of the cross-cut veal shank. In the local Western Lombard Milanese dialect, this dish 's name is òss bus. Preparation A somewhat modernized version of the traditional Ossobuco This dish 's primary ingredient, veal shank, is common, relatively cheap and flavorful. Although tough, braising makes it tender. The cut traditionally used for this dish comes from the top of the shin which has a higher proportion of bone to meat than other meaty cuts of veal. The shank is then cross-cut into sections about 3 cm thick. Although recipes vary, most start by browning the veal shanks in butter after dredging them in flour, while others recommend vegetable oil or lard. The braising liquid is usually a combination of white wine and meat broth flavored with vegetables. Accompaniments Risotto alla milanese is the traditional accompaniment to ossobuco in bianco, making for a one - dish meal. Ossobuco ( especially the tomato - based version ) is also eaten with polenta or mashed potatoes. Outside Milan, it is sometimes served with pasta.
