Equipment

  • Dutch Oven
  • Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 pounds Veal Shanks 
  • ¼ pound Pancetta
  • ½ cup Carrots (diced)
  • ½ cup Celery (diced)
  • 1 medium Onion (chopped)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 3-4 sprigs Fresh Thyme 
  • 1 cup White Wine 
  • 1-2 cups Chicken Stock 
  • Flour  (for dusting)
  • 2 teaspoons Flat Parsley 
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest (grated)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325oF.
  • After that, keep your dutch oven on the stove and let it heat for about 5 minutes. Add this Pancetta and let it cook while stirring it in between.
  • After the Pancetta is ready, you will notice it has a crispy texture and has almost lost all its fats. Cover it with a paper towel, and keep it aside.
  • Now, season the veal shanks with some salt and pepper. Coat them with some flour and add it to the pan.
  • You will have to increase the heat and cook these shanks until they brown. Remove them once done.
  • Now, add the onions, celery and carrots to the oven. Cook them until onions change their texture and look translucent. Cook it along with garlic and thyme.
  • Bring back these shanks to the pan and add some wine. Pour some stock so that half of shanks are covered in it. Cook it on low heat and simmer it. Keep the pan in the oven, fully covered, and let the meat cook until it becomes tender. It will take about an hour and a half.
  • Prepare the gremolata sauce by mixing up parsley, lemon zest and garlic in a small bowl and you can serve it in a separate bowl.
