PT2H10M Serves 6 Ingredients: 1 Piece Fresh Rosemary Sprig 1 Piece Fresh Thyme Sprig 1 Piece Dry Bay Leaf 2 Pieces Whole Cloves 3 Pieces Whole Veal Shanks 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour 0.5 Tablespoon Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper 0.5 Cup Vegetable Oil 1 Small Onion 1 Small Carrot 1 Piece Celery Stalk 1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste 1 Cup Dry White Wine 3 Cups Chicken Stock 3 Tablespoons Fresh Flat-Leaf Italian Parsley 1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest In a cheesecloth, place herb sprigs, bay leaf, and cloves and tie with kitchen twine. With paper towels, pat dry veal shanks completely. Season each shank with salt and black pepper evenly and then, coat with flour, shaking off any excess. With kitchen twine, tie shanks together. In a large Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil and cook veal for about 3 minutes per side. Transfer veal shanks to a plate. In the same pan, add carrot, onion, celery, and salt and sauté for about 8 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to combine. Add cooked shanks and wine and cook for about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for about 1 1/2 hours, turning shanks every 15 minutes (you can add more stock to keep the level of liquid about 3/4 the way up the shank). With a slotted spoon, transfer shanks to a serving platter. Remove kitchen twine from shanks and discard it. Remove bouquet garni from pan. Pour pan sauce over shanks and serve with the garnishing of parsley and lemon zest.
