Instructions
Dust the veal shanks lightly with flour. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
Add the veal, and cook until browned on the outside.
Remove to a bowl, and keep warm.
Add two cloves of crushed garlic and onion to the skillet; cook and stir until onion is tender. Return the veal to the pan and mix in the carrot and wine. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Pour in the tomatoes and beef stock, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 hours, basting the veal every 15 minutes or so. The meat should be tender, but not falling off the bone.
In a small bowl, mix together the parsley, 1 clove of garlic and lemon zest.
Sprinkle the gremolata over the veal just before serving.
Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio
Italian on the menu? Try pairing with Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. You could try Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 20 dollars per bottle.
Ricasoli Castello di Brolio Chianti Classico
Dark ruby color, with lots of chocolate, berry and vanilla aromas, this is full-bodied and velvety, with lots of fruit and a long, succulent finish. A beauty from a great vintage.
