Preparation

Step 1

In a heavy pot, heat the olive oil, add the onions and shallots, and saute slowly until they begin to soften. Add the garlic and continue to saute until the garlic softens.

Add the veal shanks and brown slowly on both sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then slowly add the wine, lemon juice, and parsley. Stir to blend, cover the pot, lower the heat, and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until fork-tender. Add more wine as needed to keep the meat from drying out. Serve the veal shanks immediately, with some pan juices.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
