Gremolata is a mixture of parsley, anchovies and lemon rind traditionally sprinkled over these ossi buchi. The dish is generally served over saffron rice, which produces a perfec marriage of glavors. It is a good idea to ask the butcher to cut the mead from the central part of the shank, where teh bone is smaller. The bone marrow is lifted out with a toothpick so tat its tast can be savored.
