Steps

1

In a large pot, bring the water to a boil with the celery, carrots, onions, bay leaves, and salt.
2

Julienne the onion and sauté it in butter. Meanwhile, remove the marrow from the veal shanks, make small cuts around the edges to prevent curling, and dredge them in flour. Sauté the shanks with the onion and sage. Deglaze with the wine, season with salt and pepper, and add some broth. Cover and cook for about 1 1/2 hours.
3

Finely chop the onion and sauté it in a pot with the bone marrow from the shanks. Once the onion is golden, add the rice and toast it.
4

Deglaze with the wine and cook, gradually adding hot broth as needed.
5

Add the saffron to the rice, and season with salt and pepper.
6

Meanwhile, prepare the gremolata. Finely chop the parsley and garlic, then mix them in a bowl with olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
7

Once the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese until creamy.
8

Serve the risotto topped with a veal shank and its sauce, then add a spoonful of gremolata.
