I can see why this is one of your favourite dishes! I chose this recipe because - other than variations of Osso Buuco - it was the only one that used veal shanks. Since I had already purchased & froze my veal shanks, I had to remove the bone & trim the fat myself ........ but being the granddaughter of 2 butchers, I think I did a pretty good job! I used dry herbs & scaled the quantities down to 2 servings .... total cooking time was 1 hour & 10 minutes ........ easy recipe, absolutely delicious ..... gravy over mashed taters ........ mixed steamed broccoli & cauliflower. Thanx Kitty!
