Italian Meat Recipes
Beef, Lamb, Pork, and Veal
Veal is a favorite meat in Italy and it appears in numerous recipes from every region. Rome is famous for its lamb and Tuscany for its superb beef cattle. And, of course, pigs are known for producing Italy's renowned hams, sausage, and other cured meats.
Thick slices of veal shank are called osso buco in Italian or “bone with a hole.” Osso buco is rich and hearty. It is one of the signature dishes from Lombardy.

KITCHEN TOOLS
GARLIC BREAD
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Split a loaf of Italian bread lengthwise into 2 pieces. Place the bread, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Stir together finely minced fresh garlic and softened butter. Spread over both pieces of bread. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the top. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until just starting to turn golden brown.
NOTE:
Some people cringe at the idea of using garlic powder instead of fresh garlic, but for this recipe I find that it works equally as well. Simply spread the butter over the bread, sprinkle generously with garlic powder, add the Parmesan and parsley, and bake.
