Planning on cooking this for Vday. Saw 16.99/lb veal at maxwells the other day. Has anybody cooked this at home... will they be frozen or should I try whole foods? I guess I'll stop by after work and ask them... just wanted to see where I should buy them. I'm also going to use a boquet garni instead of the gremolata and cook a saffron risotto.

I've done it a few times. I like to let it simmer for a long time. I also am partial to more of a red gravy than brown. I do this by browning a can of tomato paste.

If they are frozen just let them thaw in the refrigerator then an hour or so before using sit on counter to come to room temperature.

Watch the "faux" osso bucco posters here. They'll direct you to use pork and try to convince you that you aren't taste bud worthy of telling the difference.

I've prepared osso bucco many times and have always bought them from Maxwells.

Marcella Hazan has two different recipes in her Essentials of Classic Italian cooking, and I usually prepare a combination of both. One can be found here.

Not pork, but beef shanks instead of veal. I'm not paying $17/lb for marrow bones.

I got 2 for 11 dollars at Rouse's in Houma.

You're getting terribly ripped off

I can't taste much difference between veal and beef, especially after it has been cooked for 3+ hours. But I can with pork.
