Perfect for Sunday supper or for a holiday crowd, lamb Osso Buco is the ultimate Italian cold-weather dinner. It has tender braised meat, sautéed vegetables, and a white wine broth. It uses basic ingredients and is super easy to put together, but it tastes deliciously impressive. Letting it cook on low for several hours allows the meat to tenderize and the flavors to meld. 

Osso Buco is a classic Italian dish that originated in the Lombardy region of Italy. It’s traditionally made with veal, but I opted for lamb shanks with this recipe because I love the robust, grassy flavor it has.
