Osso Buco
Osso Buco is a cross cut pork shank used for braising or soups and broths. In this recipe we use a traditional braising technique resulting in an amazing savory fall off the bone piece of meat. Osso Buco refers to “hollowed bone” which refers to the marrow filled shin bone that the dish is made from.
