Shank
length
For best results, the shank bones should be at least 5 centimeters (2 inches) but preferably
6 centimeters (2 1/2
inches) in length.
Veal
For the sake of tenderness, be sure to buy veal not baby beef shanks. The
color of veal shanks is pale white rather than rosy red.
Stock
If you don't have veal stock, substitute chicken stock.
Tomatoes
Unless they are vine ripened, use a good brand of canned imported Italian
tomatoes. Drain the liquid.
Lemon
rind
When grating the lemon rind, do not cut too deeply into the bitter white pith
that underlies the yellow skin.
Accompaniments
The traditional starch accompaniment to Osso Buco is rice, especially risotto alla milanese. Pasta tossed with butter and freshly grated black pepper is a
popular alternative.
Marrow
If you don't have marrow spoons, substitute lobster forks for removing and
eating the cooked bone marrow.
Beverage
Serve a dry, medium- bodied Italian red wine.
