Osso buco! A classic Italian dish that originates in the Lombardy region, specifically in the city of Milan. The name "osso buco" literally means "hollow bone" in Italian, which refers to the braised veal shanks that are typically used in the dish. The origins of osso buco date back to the 16th century, when it was an aristocratic cuisine dish in Milan.
Stuffed vegetables from Nice are typical of Nice. There are a multitude of ways to cook them, so there are many different recipes. However, there is a traditional basis. Like many other Nice dishes, they originated in modest culinary circles. Leftover meats were used, such as heels of ham and leftovers from cooked dishes like daube niçoise, or sometimes they were prepared without meat at all. As for vegetables, we used those from the Nice region and, by extension, from the Mediterranean basin.
Daube niçoise, like many other Niçoise dishes, is a very old recipe, considered to be a "poor man's dish", which has become a staple of Niçoise gastronomic cuisine, along with salade niçoise and pan-bagnat. I'll soon be introducing you to these two other Niçoise dishes, which are much simpler to prepare.
