Introduction

Pellegrino Artusi, a 18th century Chef, was used to say: the  ossobuco  must be made only by Lombard people,  I will never cook it because I fear they can tease me for my bad attempt.
We can try anyway, can't we? 
The secret is in the shank:  It must be TOP quality and from a one year old calf.

Ingredients
4 pcs. cross-cut veal shank
flour
2 oz. butter
4 oz. white wine
1 pinch of nutmeg
4 cups broth
Peel of 1/2 lemon
1 clove garlic
1 sprig rosemary
1 sprig parsley
salt
pepper
Directions
Step: 1

 Dust the veal shanks with flour and brown them in a frying pan in hot melted butter. When browned, splash the meat with white wine, let evaporate, and add salt and pepper to taste with a pinch of nutmeg. Braise over a low heat, adding broth occasionally, until the meat begins to come off the bone (about 2 hours).

 To prepare the gremolata: chop the lemon rind, garlic, rosemary and parsley very finely and sprinkle over the veal, when almost ready. Cook for another few mins. and serve.
Ossobuco may be served with risotto allo zafferano. (Milanese risotto)

 Note 1:
After having browned the veal shanks, you may add about 1/2 lb. of ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped , with some chopped celery and carrots, and then continue with the recipe

 Note 2:
The best part of this famous Lombard dish is the bone marrow. This is scooped out with a utensil called scavino, which in Milanese dialect also refers to the taxman.

 Note 3:
In some famous restaurants  in Milan  they use to add  1/2 anchovy fillet to the gremolada. I do it too and I usually do not add the rosemary..

Guido's Papa made this for lunch while I was in Italy and it is wonderful. I would put this dish up against any of the finest chef's any day.
