About Veal, shank (fore and hind), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised
Braised veal shank, lean and fat included, concentrates protein significantly and keeps fat moderate relative to the total. Long braising transforms the tough connective tissue into silky gelatin and produces a broth that is deeply savory and body-rich. Osso buco is the canonical preparation: served over risotto or polenta, topped with gremolata. The fat that was present in the raw cut renders into the braising liquid during cooking, so the meat itself comes out remarkably lean and pull-apart tender.
