Serve ossobuco dishes with lots of its sauce, along with the potatoes and sprinkle with the gremolata mixture.
As much leftover gremolata there is, put it on the table for anyone who wants to add.
We can continue to cook food in the oven instead of the pressure cooker. In these case the cooking time is longer and must control the amount of broth in the pan.
