4 veal shanks tied
Salt
Pepper
Oil
Flour
2 Carrots chopped
1 rib celery chopped
1 yellow onion chopped
6 cloves garlic chopped
2 cups red wine
3 tbsp Tomato paste
Can Diced tomatoes
Veal stock
Lemon zest


Salt and pepper shanks and dredge in flour. Brown in oil in Dutch oven





Set meat aside and brown onions, carrot, celery and garlic. Stir for about 10 minutes.



Add tomato paste and brown. Then add diced tomatoes.



Add wine to deglaze the pot and then add veal stock and lemon zest and bay leaves. Bring to boil and return meat to pot.



Cover pot and put in oven on 250 for 3 hours.



I then removed meat, strained the liquid through cheesecloth and reduced by 1/2 and skimmed fat.



I returned meat to liquid to reheat.



Served with pasta and gremolata of parsley, garlic and lemon zest.





Bon appetite

It was great except if skip the gremolata. Didn't add anything that needed to be there except color.

It was on a recipe I looked at.

To each his own with pepper. I find fresh ground overpowering and inconsistent at times.

Looks delicious. I like the idea to strain it.

Seriously, give the gremolata anther try. It does add to the dish, imo.

maybe it was the parsley or the raw garlic, but I found it distracting in a way, if that makes sense?

should have hit it with a mortar and pestle and some EVOO to kind of mellow it out?

Some fresh ground pepper would've brought it all together.

I would recommend adding olive oil, a couple of capers,lemon segments & white anchovies to your gremolata. If you can't find white anchovie you can substitute the ones @ the grocery store or a couple dashes of fish sauce.

Eta: the final product & sauce looks really good.

Nice work Boat!

Two questions:

Where did you procure those great looking shanks (the thickness was perfect)?

Why did you strain the sauce rather than puree?


Oh, next time chop your ingredients for the gremolata much more finely and use equal amounts of garlic and lemon zest and less parsley and I think you will like it better.
