Braised Ossobuco

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.  

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.

I love to eat the bone marrow over toasted bread.. such a flavor, so in fact I made this dish in order to have the bone marrow! guilty! but a small pleasures are often the best ones. When I was a kid, getting one bone marrow was like  winning a prize, as I can recall my fathor love these as well,  I use to left it for the end of my meal, so I could keep the flavor in my mouth for a long time.

The carrots were so delicious it was the perfect side for this veal, I do hope you give it a try, if you are doing this recipe on a slow cooker follow the same process and let this cook for 4 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on LOW.

Happy braising!

Ossobuco o osso buco quiere decir en italiano “hueso con un agujero” (hueso osso, agujero buco), una referencia al agujero relleno de médula ósea o tuétano en el centro de la pierna de ternera cortada.


DSCN8657

Tengo que admitir que a mi me encanta el tuétano, cuando puedo me lo como con pan tostado, me encanta su sabor y su textura.. Cuando era niña y me tocaba un tuétano, que según recuerdo a mi papá le encantan también, era como un premio, lo dejaba en el borde del plato para comerlo al final y guardar el sabor por más tiempo en mi paladar.

Hay dos tipos de ossobuco: una versión moderna que tiene tomates y la versión original que no. La versión más antigua, ossobuco en bianco, se condimenta con la canela, laurel y gremolata. La receta moderna y más popular incluye los tomates, las zanahorias, el apio y la cebolla.

Las zanahorias al final, estarán tiernas y dulces, y tendrán una profundidad de sabores que solo se obtiene al cocer a fuego lento los alimentos. Espero que les guste esta receta tanto como a mí.

  • Hi Gaila, this is a classic dish, packed with beautiful flavours and so easy to make! I think Osso Buco delivers some of the best broths. Great idea to leave the carrots coarsely chopped for a different texture. Yum!
