Hot Italian Dish cookbook by Victoria Gotti. This is one of my favorite dishes to order when dining out. I am so glad that I can now make it at home. I serve this with roasted potatoes and mixed fresh steamed vegetables.

Time 1h57m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 fresh bay leaves
1 sprig fresh sage
1 sprig fresh rosemary
2 lbs veal shanks, bone removed and fat trimmed (ask butcher to do this)
1/4 teaspoon salt & pepper
1/4 cup flour
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, sliced
3/4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Chop the bay leaves, sage and rosemary, rub the herbs into and outside the shank.
  • Season the outside of the shank with salt and pepper and lay the veal shank in a shallow bowl filled with the flour.
  • Press both sides of the shank gently into the flour to coat and shake off any excess flour.
  • Put the oil in a roasting pan then add the white wine, veal shank, carrot, onion and celery.
  • Bake the shank for 10 minutes.
  • Lower the temperature to 425F, cover the veal shank with aluminum foil and cook for an additional 1 1/2 hours, basting the shanks with the chicken stock often.
  • Remove the shank from the pan and cut the meat into 1-inch-thick slices.
  • Add butter to vegetable drippings in the pan and use as a gravy over the shank slices.
