Osso Buco with Gremolata is one of my favourite dishes. i always used to order this at restaurants but then discovered this recipe. Now I make it at home and the flavour amazing, the aroma enticing and the price a lot less. The veal is cooked long and slow so ideal for people wanting a hot meal after a day out. This main dish is perfect for romantic meals with a lovely Malbec or sublime Chateauneuf du Pape.
