Traditionally, '''ossobuco''' is made without [[tomatoes]] (these being unknown in Milan until the late 19th century).

It should be noted that while the traditional combination with [[risotto alla milanese]] is perfect for the former version (for which is was intended), the modern-day version with [[tomato]], which is both moister and bolder in flavour and does not combine well with [[saffron]], is better served with [[polenta]]. The following recipe is for a 'modern' version.
