Osso bucco means bone with a hole in Italian and is made with veal shin bones that are full of delicious marrow. You will have to order them from a good butcher or ask your supermarket in advance to get them for you. The dish makes a comforting supper to serve to friends or even an Italian Style Sunday lunch, served with a glass of good red wine.
