Variations of the recipe for osso buco Milanese with gremolata and yellow risotto Milanese:

The Milanese risotto is a traditional recipe and as such it has few variations, beyond the liquid used and that greatly marks the flavor of the final result. Can be broth or water, and the ideal broth is chicken or vegetables. Personally, if you have homemade broth it is the best you can use, but if not, I would opt for water so as not to add too artificial flavors to the recipe. If you want to prepare a homemade broth I encourage you to make our recipe for Homemade Chicken Broth.

There are other versions of osso buco a la milanesa They are prepared in the same way but instead of just onion they also add tomato, carrots and even celery and it is also very tasty.

Tips:

It is important that you brown the ossobucos well on both sides and if necessary do it in several batches as this enhances the flavor of the sauce and the meat.

Is a perfect recipe to leave it made in advance, either hours or even from the day before, since to bring it to the table you just have to put the pot back on medium heat for about 5 minutes just before serving it. What I do recommend is to prepare the risotto at the moment.a
