Ossobuco

Osso meaning bone and buco meaning hole, this is taken from the part of the leg where the muscle is particularly thick, giving a cut of meat about 8.5 cm (3½ inches) across cut into 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick sections with the bone and marrow in place. The dish of ossobuco alla milanese, in which the shin pieces are stewed in a tomato sauce, has been made popular all over the world by Italian restaurants. It is usually served with a gremolada and accompanied by saffron risotto.
