Original Sicilian Pizza Company Osso buco

I received this recipe for Osso Bucco from the owner of the Original Sicilian Pizza Company. In the 70-80’s I owned a chain of restaurants in the Los Angeles area called The Original Sicilian Pizza Company. I have since sold the restaurants and the last one closed in 1988. These are some of the recipes that I had on my menu.

    I have never cooked veal shanks before. This was really good! I cut down the recipe it turned out okay but I will need to work on it a little more.
