Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 small carrot, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp salt
1 cup diced tomatoes, with their juice

1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup italian (flat leaf) parsley, chopped

Instructions:

Osso Buco is a classic Italian braised dish. Made from veal shanks, and
flavored with onions, carrots, celery and a twist of lemon peel, it is a
wonderfully satisfying dish.

1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil over medium heat. Pat shanks
dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown in oil, two or three at a time.
Transfer to a plate. Add onion, carrot, garlic and salt to the pan and cook
5 minutes, until tender. Add tomatoes, wine and oregano. Return veal to
pot.

2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low. Simmer until veal is very tender,
about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer veal to a serving platter. Cook sauce,
uncovered 10 minutes more, until slightly thickened; remove lemon peel. Add
parsley. Pour sauce over shanks.
