Beef osso buco braised in a sauce of tomatoes and red wine is a classic dish of Italian cuisine, symbolizing the richness of flavors and traditions of the northern regions of the country. Osso buco, which translates from Italian as 'bone with a hole', consists of braised beef shanks that become incredibly tender and juicy after long cooking. The sauce infused with the aroma of wine, tomatoes, and aromatic herbs gives the dish a rich, slightly sweet-and-sour flavor with deep meaty notes. In Italy, osso buco is traditionally served with risotto or polenta to highlight its rich sauce. This dish is perfect for cozy home dinners where enjoying every moment of the meal is as important as satisfaction.
