Ingredients
- 180 g Veal shank, raw
- 10 g Flour, all-purpose
- 15 g Butter, unsalted
- 10 g Olive oil
- 40 g Onions, raw
- 30 g Carrots, raw
- 30 g Celery, raw
- 50 g Wine, white
- 10 g Tomato paste
- 150 g Beef broth
- 0.3 g Bay leaves
- 3 g Parsley, fresh
- 1 g Lemon zest
- 2 g Garlic, raw
- 1 g Salt
- 0.3 g Black pepper
Method
- Ask your butcher for one cross-cut veal shank piece, about 300-350 g bone-in, tied around the middle to hold its shape; the bone means the edible meat comes to well under that raw weight.
- Season the shank and dredge in the flour.
- Brown well on both sides in the butter and olive oil in a heavy pot, then remove.
- Soften the onion, carrot and celery in the same pot for about 8 minutes.
- Return the shank, add the wine and let it bubble for a minute, then stir in the tomato paste, broth and bay leaf.
- Cover and braise on low heat for 1.5-2 hours, turning once, until the meat is very tender and almost falling from the bone.
- Meanwhile mix the parsley, lemon zest and garlic into a gremolata.
- Serve the shank with its sauce, scattered with the gremolata, traditionally alongside risotto.
