You really outdid yourself with this post, Deb! Looks like you cooked up a storm. I love Mario's food and this looks like a stunning and comforting meal. The pine nut gremolata really stands out to me. A little brightness and crunch at the same time is a very good thing! Sounds like you'll be making lots of osso bucco.

We have trouble finding osso bucco up here too - and they often look more like Giada's calves. Little. ;-)<br />The gremolata really makes it too, love that sharp bite on top of the rich meat.NKPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963976997563464573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696248883608841507.post-48947101680814551382010-12-01T01:27:10.198-10:002010-12-01T01:27:10.198-10:00I have to say I love that you made a dish dedicate...I have to say I love that you made a dish dedicated to Mario's calves. That is awesome. If someone made a dish devoted to my calves right now...it would involve some type of meat that was totally torn up and discombobulated. So I totally have love for anything that involves strong healthy calves. :P<br /><br />Osso bucco is a truly delicious thing and I love Mario's version!
