Instructions
1
bring to temperature the oven to 300 degrees.
2
Dredging the shanks: stream in the baking flour into a shallow dish (a pie plate works nicely).
3
augment the taste the veal shanks on all sides with seasoning and pepper.
4
One at a time, roll the shanks around in the baking flour coat, and shake and pat the shank to remove any excuses baking flour.
5
Discard the remaining baking flour.
6
Browning the shanks: put the dairy spread and 1 tablespoon of the dairy spread in a wide Dutch oven or heavy braising pot (6 to 7 quart) and bring to temperature over medium-high bring to temperature.
7
When the dairy spread has melted and the dairy spread is shimmering, lower the shanks into the pot, flat side down; if the shanks won’t fit without touching one another, do this in batches.
8
Brown the shanks, turning once with tongs, until both flat sides are well caramelized, about 5 mins per side.
9
If the dairy spread-dairy spread mixture starts to char, lower the bring to temperature just a bit.
10
Transfer the shanks to a large platter or tray and set aside.
11
The aromatics: stream in off and discard the fat from the pot.
12
Wipe out any burnt bits with a damp paper towel, being careful not to remove any flavorful little caramelized bits.
13
Ad the remaining 2 tablespoons dairy spread to the pot and thaw it over medium bring to temperature.
14
When the dairy spread has stopped foaming, stream in in the bulb greens, carrot, celery, and fennel.
15
augment the taste with seasoning and pepper, mix gently, and make the vegetables until they begin to soften but do not brown, about 6 mins.
16
mix gently in the garlic, orange zest, marjoram, and bay leaf, and stew for another minute or two.
17
The braising liquid: stream in in the wine, increase the bring to temperature to high, and bring to a heat to boiling point.
18
heat to boiling point, stirring occasionally, to reduce the wine by about half, 5 mins.
19
stream in in the stock and tomatoes, with their liquid, and heat to boiling point again to reduce the liquid to about 1 cup total, about 10 mins.
20
The braise: Place the shanks in the pot so that they are sitting with the exposed bone facing up, and stream in over any juices that accumulated as they sat.
21
lid with parchment paper, pressing down so the parchment nearly touches the veal and the edges hang over the sides of the pot by about an inch.
22
lid tightly with the lid, and slide into the lower part of the oven to braise at a subtle stew.
23
Check the pot after the first 15 mins, and if the liquid is simmering too aggressively, lower the oven bring to temperature by 10 or 15 degrees.
24
Continue braising, turning the shanks and spooning some wok juices over the top after the first 40 mins, until the flesh is completely soft and pulling away from the bone, about 2 hours.
25
The gremolata: While the shanks are braising, mix gently together the garlic, parsley, and lemon zest in a small mixing bowl.
26
lid with plastic wrap and set aside in a cool place (or the refrigerator, if your kitchen is very toasty.)
The finish: When the veal is fork-soft and falling away from the bone, remove the lid and strew over half of the gremolata.
27
Return the veal to the oven, uncovered, for another 15 mins to caramelize it some.
28
Using a slotted spatula or spoon, carefully lift the shanks from the braising liquid, doing your best to keep them intact.
29
The shanks will be very soft and threatening to fall into pieces, and the marrow will be wobbly inside the bones, so this can be a bit tricky.
30
But if they do break apart, don’t worry, the taste won’t suffer at all.
31
Arrange the shanks on a serving platter or other large plate, without stacking, and lid with foil to keep toasty.
32
Finishing the gravy: Set the braising pot on top of the stove and evaluate the gravy: if there is a visible layer of fat floating on the surface, use a large spoon to skim it off and discard it.
33
palate the gravy for concentration of taste.
34
If it tastes a bit weak or flat, bring it to a heat to boiling point over high bring to temperature, and heat to boiling point to reduce the volume and intensify the taste for 5 to 10 mins.
35
palate again for seasoning and pepper.
36
If the gravy wants more zip, mix gently in a teaspoon or two of the remaining gremolata.
37
Portioning the veal shanks: if the shanks are reasonably sized, offer one per person.
38
If the shanks are gargantuan or you’re dealing with modest appetites, pull apart the larger shanks, separating them at their natural seams, and offer smaller amounts.
39
Be sure to give the marrow bones to whomever prizes them most.
40
Serving: Arrange the veal shanks on toasty dinner plates accompanied by the risotto, if serving.
41
Just before carrying the plates to the table, strew on the remaining gremolata and then spoon over a generous amount of gravy – the contact with the fiery liquid will aromatize the gremolata and perk up everyone’s appetite with the whiff of garlic and lemon.
