Add the rice, season and cook for 1min then add the stock and bring to the boil.
Cover with a tight fitting lid or clingfilm and kitchen foil and place in the oven at 200 C for 30mins until the rice is cooked but retains a slight bite (al dente).
Carefully remove the osso bucco from the dish and reduce the cooking liquid until a sauce like consistency is achieved, heat the osso bucco in the sauce and serve sprinkled with gremolata and baked risotto.
