Authentic Risotto alla Milanese with Ossobuco: A Taste of Lombardy in the Caribbean

In Bocas del Toro, every encounter feels serendipitous, and meeting the charismatic and kind-hearted Italian, Maddalena, was no exception. As we chatted, she shared that the signature dish of her hometown in Lombardy is none other than the iconic Risotto alla Milanese with Ossobuco. While traditionally considered a winter dish in Italy, enjoying it in the Caribbean's "winter" warmth of 24°C was a special treat. Imagine creamy, silky rice infused with rich homemade broth, the unmistakable aroma of saffron, refreshing white wine, and a generous sprinkle of authentic Parmigiano Reggiano (of course-what self-respecting Italian wouldn't have Parmesan onboard, even in the Caribbean?). Paired with tender ossobuco, slow-cooked to perfection, this dish became an unforgettable memory. Maddalena also teased me with stories of other risotto variations, but those will have to wait for another day. If you're a fan of Italian cuisine and global culinary adventures, save this post, and let's bring a taste of Lombardy to your table!
