Ingredients

  • 1?3 cup (50 g) plain flour
  • 1?4 teaspoon salt
  • 1?4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 kg veal shanks, cut into 5-cm-thick slices
  • 1?3 cup (80 ml) canola oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Preparation

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper.

  3. In a large frying pan, saute the onion, carrot, celery and garlic in butter until tender. Return veal to the Dutch oven; top with vegetable mixture. Add the tomatoes, broth, basil, thyme and bay leaves.
  4. Cover and bake at 160°C for 2 to 2 1/4 hours or until the meat and vegetables are tender. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Just before serving, combine the parsley and lemon peel, and sprinkle over the veal.
