Instructions

Veal

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pat the veal dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet with oil over medium-high heat. Dust the shanks with flour. Sear both sides until browned and place in a baking dish. Add more oil to the skillet with the vegetables. Lightly brown the vegetables. Coat the vegetables with flour and add the spices. Cook for 1 minute. Add the white wine, then the beef stock. Bring to a simmer and pour over the veal shanks. Cover the baking pan and cook for 2 hours flipping the shanks over halfway through.
  • Remove the shanks from the pan. Strain the vegetables from the sauce and skim off any fat. Pour the sauce into a skillet or pan and reduce it by half. Add the shanks back to the sauce and warm through.
  • Spoon some risotto on a plate. Add a veal shank and some sauce. Garnish with gremolata and parmesan.

Risotto

  • Heat the stock to a simmer and remove it from heat. Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the oil, 2 tbsp butter, and bone marrow and allow them to melt. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the rice and toast for 2-3 minutes. Add the white wine. Start adding the stock 1 1/2 cups at a time adding more when the liquid is almost absorbed. Stir frequently. Allow the last addition of stock to absorb for 2-3 minutes. Then, add the parmesan and the remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Gremolata

  • Mix the ingredients and set aside until ready to serve.
