Preparation method

How do you make this?

Chop the onion and garlic finely and sauté in a saucepan.

Peel the carrots and chop finely. Add to the onion and garlic.

Also chop the fennel finely and mix it in. Let it sauté for a moment.

Using scissors, roughly chop the tomatoes in the can, add them along with the wine. Season and let simmer for 15 minutes.

Season the veal shanks with pepper and salt, dredge them in flour, and brown them nicely in the oil for about 5 minutes on each side. Place them in a large baking dish.

Taste the sauce. You can now blend it so that there are no vegetable pieces left or pour it as is.

Add the herbs, cover with aluminum foil, and let it cook for another 1h30 in a preheated oven at 185°C.

Check occasionally, the goal is for the meat to become completely tender and cook in the sauce.

Add some broth if you see that the sauce is getting too dry.

Set on the table and serve with pasta of your choice and finish with some fresh oregano.
