Osso buco alle Milanese a savory dish

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:57:03 GMT

Veal slices cut from the leg, slowly cooked in wine and herbs form the basis for this rich and tasty dish from Milan. The secret to this dish is a garnish of fresh parsley, grated lemon peel, and garlic called gremolada. It’s added at the end and gives the dish a light, fresh taste.It only takes a few minutes to prepare the ingredients and then just let it cook on its own for about one hour.Helpful Hints:Veal shanks cut for osso buco can be found in the meat case in many supermarkets. Or ask the butcher to cut 2-inch slices from the hind shank of the veal. It is meatier and more tender than the front shank.Broccoli or broccolini can be used instead of broccoli rabe.This can be made ahead and rewarmed. If the sauce becomes too thick or the pan dry, add a little water to it. If making ahead, add the broccoli rabe when rewarming the dish.Chop vegetables in a food processor.TAG GOES HEREOsso Buco alle Milanese (Braised Veal Shanks)INGREDIENTS1 tablespoon flourSalt and freshly ground bla...

Quigley: Without more Ukraine aid, conflict will grow

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:57:03 GMT

We also risk sending a message to other autocrats that incursion into free democracies will go unopposed.The domino effect of his victory would jeopardize the free world for generations to come.In the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt: “We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations far away.”That is why we must act.If we allow Putin to run roughshod over Ukraine, it is only a matter of time before we face the greatest conflict in Eastern Europe since World War II, requiring direct engagement by the United States to defend our NATO allies.If Putin is succes...
