Viviana Varese honours the traditional Milanese dish osso buco in her veal recipe. Keeping the bone as the focal point, Viviana swaps the classic veal shin for bone marrow, which is topped with delicate tartare of veal onglet and fillet. Finished with rich mustard mayonnaise and delicate vinegar snow, one taste of this dish and you'll be fighting 'Mario' for the bone . . .

Method
1
Begin by making the mustard mayonnaise. Blend the mustard seeds in a spice grinder (or by hand in a pestle and mortar) to form a powder. Set aside
- 25g of mustard seeds
2
Whisk together the egg yolk and lemon juice in a bowl and drizzle in the sunflower oil, whisking continuously, until the mayonnaise thickens and emulsifies. Whisk in the mustard powder and season with a little salt to taste. Reserve in a piping bag until serving
- 1 egg yolk
- 10g of lemon juice
- 100g of sunflower oil
- salt
3
For the vinegar snow, place the maltodextrin in a bowl and mix in the vinegar to create a powder. Push the mixture through a fine sieve into a clean bowl to create a 'snow' and set aside until required
- 15g of maltodextrin
- 6g of black rice vinegar
4
Preheat a barbecue or grill. Place the bone marrow halves marrow-side down on the grill and cook for 4 minutes, then turn over and cook for another 6 minutes on the bone side
- 2 bone marrow, halved
5
Meanwhile, sear the onglet very quickly on the grill to lightly colour the outside. Remove from the heat and dice into a coarse tartare. Dice the fillet into similar sized pieces, keeping both cuts separate. Season both tartares with a little extra virgin olive oil and salt
6
Blanch the spring onion slices very briefly (about 10 seconds) in boiling water, either in a small pan or by pouring over water from the kettle. Drain and cool immediately in a bowl of iced water
- 1 large spring onion, sliced into 1cm rings

To serve, place a bone marrow half on each serving plate with the marrow on top. Alternate spoonfuls of the onglet and fillet tartare across the top then pipe on a few dots of the mustard mayonnaise
8
Sprinkle over a little of the vinegar snow, garnishing with the spring onion slices and a few daikon cress leaves to serve
