Lemon Veal Shanks
Pane-Bistecca
Lemon ossobuco is very special! I admit I like these veal shanks; we always had them as kids on special occasions.
My Italian mom would spend days in the kitchen to spoil us all. Nowadays cooking has become easier and time saving because we have food processors doing all the work. My mom didn’t have them she kneaded bread dough, grated vegetables and cheese, cut pasta, and much more.
But let’s get back to the osso bucchi! I cooked them this time for one of my dearest friends with lemon flavor and they became so tender that they fell off the bones by themselves!

Notes
I served my Osso Bucchi with homemade Noodles but a Risotto or mashed potatoes also go well with it!
