Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds veal shanks, cut into short lengths
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup Butter
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
⅔ cup dry white wine
⅔ cup beef stock
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Dust the veal shanks lightly with flour. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the veal, and cook until browned on the outside. Remove to a bowl, and keep warm. Add two cloves of crushed garlic and onion to the skillet; cook and stir until onion is tender. Return the veal to the pan and mix in the carrot and wine. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Pour in the tomatoes and beef stock, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 hours, basting the veal every 15 minutes or so. The meat should be tender, but not falling off the bone.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the parsley, 1 clove of garlic and lemon zest. Sprinkle the gremolata over the veal just before serving.
