Ossobuco




Ossobuco in bianco.

4 veal, beef, or lamb shanks, 1.5-2" thick.
4 stalks celery, diced fine.
3 large carrots, diced fine.
1 large onion, diced fine.
4 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped.
250 mL dry white wine.
4 cups beef broth.
6 small anchovies (optional)
3 bay leaves.
1 tsp cinnamon.
1 tsp nutmeg.
Olive oil for sauteing.
Gremolata:

4 Tbs chopped parsley
2 Tbs lemon zest
1 Tbs chopped garlic (optional)


Sear the shanks on both sides in olive oil until browned. Set aside. In the same pan, saute vegetables until soft. Add wine and deglaze. Add bay leaves, anchovies, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and simmer for 5 minutes. Return shanks to the pan, add enough stock to submerge the meat. Cover and braise in a 350 degree oven until meat is tender and falling off the bone. Serve topped with gremolata and the braising liquid.

Risotto alla Milanese

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion chopped fine
1 teaspoon saffron threads
2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
4 cups veal stock
1/2 cup freshly grated aged Parmesan cheese.

Saute the onions in the olive oil and 2 Tbs butter until clear and soft. Add the rice and stir until rice is completely coated with oil and slightly toasted. Add the wine and the saffron. Simmer until liquid is absorbed. Add the stock, 1 cup at a time, again allowing all the liquid to absorb before adding more. When rice is just tender, add the remaining butter and the Parmesan and serve immediately.
