I made the osso buco with lamb shanks. It was so delicious, and not too difficult!! I saved the sauce to put over my mashed potatoes the next day and it was just as good as the day before! I served it over recipe #24554 (mashed potatoes with prosciutto and parmesan cheese) and it was very complimentary. My fiance suggested less lemon zest in the gremolata. I liked it as is. I highly recommend this recipe.
