the.com/osso buco
Veal shank braised until the marrow surrenders and the fork does all the talking.
means A Milanese dish of cross-cut veal shanks slow-braised with the bone and marrow still in, usually with vegetables, wine, and broth.
from Straight from Italian: 'osso' (bone) plus 'buco' (hole) — literally 'bone with a hole,' naming the hollow shank bone that cradles the marrow at its center. The dish traces to Milan, where it's traditionally finished with gremolata (lemon zest, garlic, parsley) and served with a tiny spoon — the marrow scoop — so none of the bone's prize goes to waste.
