Pour the flour into a baking dish. Flour the ossobuco on both sides and gently remove the excess flour.

add them to the previously prepared mix of vegetables, adding salt and pepper and finally the beer.

Procedure for cook the polenta
Bring the water to boil with salt and butter. Remove from the heat and add the flour, stirring constantly,
being careful not to create lumps. Pour the mixture into a tray and cook.
When it’s done, put it in a blast chiller. Once cold, slice the polenta and toast it on
the preheated non-stick plate. Once cooked, decorate with chopped rosemary.
For a touch of color, you can add some rosemary flowers.
Chef tips
The cooking time of the braised veal depends on the weight of the ossobuco.
We recommend always checking the cooking before removing the tray from the oven.
If beer dry out too quickly, add some more or alternatively some vegetable stock.
The traditional Milanese recipe is served with saffron risotto, this version is perfect
with grilled vegetables or polenta.
