Ossobuco is a famous #Milanese casserole of slow braised shin of veal cooked in white wine with tomatoes. Is a #high-protein / #low-carb preparation suitable for #ketogenic diet.
"White" (ie without tomato) version of this recipe is considered the most ancient one, in fact tomato in 1700 was already widespread in many Italian regions, but ignored by the Milanese cuisine. The plant was considered, at the time, even poisonous with an exclusively ornamental function. Only at the end of the following century tomato will appear in preparations of this area. Ossobuco as well as being served alone, can be accompanied by polenta, mashed potatoes, buttered spinach and, of course, Milanese risotto. The City of Milan, with a resolution of the City Council of 14-12-2007, has granted the recognition of the Municipal Name (DeCo.) to this dish. The DeCo. (Municipal Name) indicates the belonging of a product, or a dish to a territory.
