  Osso Buco

Ingredients:
2 oz Butter
1/2 cup Thinly sliced onion
2 large Veal shanks (5 1/2-to-6 lb) cut in 3 pieces each
Flour for dredging
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup White wine
1 tbsp Tomato paste, dissolved in
1/2 cup Water
1 large Clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp Minced parsley
1/2 Lemon, Grated peel only
Instructions:
The garlic-parsley-lemon peel finish is called "gremolata" and is
classic. The hollow bone (osso buco) of the veal shanks gives this
dish its name. MELT THE BUTTER in a large casserole. Add the sliced
onion and saute over medium heat until soft and just beginning to
color (about 10 minutes). With a slotted spoon, remove the onion to a
plate and press it against the plate to extract its juices and let
them run back into the pan. Discard the onion. Dry the veal pieces
with paper towels. Flour them lightly and brown them over medium heat
in the onion-flavored butter. Salt and pepper the pieces, raise heat
to medium-high and pour on half the wine. After a moment, turn the
pieces of veal over, salt and pepper the other sides. Pour on the
rest of the wine when the first half has evaporated. When all the
wine has evaporated, arrange the veal pieces so that the wide marrow
opening is up. Add the diluted tomato paste, cover, and cook over low
heat about 1 1/2 hours, or until the veal is tender. During that
time, move the pieces around to prevent them from sticking, and baste
them occasionally with their cooking juices, using a bulb baster, but
don't turn them over lest the marrow dissolve and run out. (You can
add a tablespoon or 2 of warm water if the sauce seems to be drying
out--but the veal will probably exude plenty of its own juices after
the first half hour of cooking.) While the veal is cooking, finely
chop together the garlic, parsley and lemon. Five minutes before
serving, stir it into the casserole. Classically, this dish is served
with risotto Milanese, made with saffron and Parmesan cheese, but any
simple rice or pasta preparation will do.
