Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons walnut oil or peanut oil
4 1 1/2-inch-thick veal shanks
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 large onions (about 3 pounds), sliced about 1/2 inch thick
2 carrots in thick, diagonal slices
1/2 cup white wine
3 heads of garlic, cloves lightly smashed, then peeled
2 sprigs thyme
2 cups chicken or beef broth

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place a braising pan large enough to hold shanks over medium high heat. Add oil. Season veal with salt and pepper, then add to hot pan. Brown shanks all over, about 20 minutes. Remove to a plate. Pour off or add oil to pan until you have 3 tablespoons. Heat oil until shimmering. Add onions and carrots, and cook until golden brown, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Nestle veal in vegetables, and pour wine on top. Reduce by three-quarters. Add garlic and thyme, and pour broth on top. Bring to a simmer. Cover meat with a piece of foil, turning corners up. Cover pan with a lid, and place in oven. Braise until meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Season to taste. Remove from oven, and let cool in pan. Refrigerate.
  • The next day, reheat veal over low heat. Serve with risotto or potatoes and the sauce and vegetables.

This is a great recipe! The veal shanks were fall-apart tender and the garlic sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not a big fan of veal, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The veal shanks were tender and the garlic sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disappointment. The veal shanks were tough and the garlic sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've made this recipe a few times and it's always a hit. The veal shanks are always fall-off-the-bone tender and the garlic sauce is rich and flavorful. I usually serve it with roasted vegetables and a side of mashed potatoes.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed. The veal shanks were tough and the garlic sauce was bland. I think I might have overcooked the shanks, but even so, they should have been more tender.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of red wine to the braising liquid. It gives the dish a nice depth of flavor.
