Braised Veal Shank With Mushrooms And Shallots Recipes

Steps:

• Make shanks:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Pat shanks dry. Stir together flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper on a sheet of wax paper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. While oil heats, dredge 4 shanks in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Brown shanks in oil on all sides, turning with tongs, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large (17- by 12- by 2-inch) roasting pan. Add 2 tablespoons oil to skillet and repeat with remaining 4 shanks. Discard remaining flour mixture.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet and cook onion, garlic, anchovies, bay leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add wine and boil, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, water, zest strips, and remaining teaspoon salt and bring to a boil, then pour mixture over shanks. Tightly cover pan with foil and braise in oven 1 hour. Turn shanks over, cover, and continue to braise until meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours more.
• Remove from oven and skim fat from surface of sauce, then transfer shanks and sauce to a large platter. Discard bay leaves.
• Make gremolata:
• Stir together parsley, grated zests, and garlic and sprinkle over shanks.

Steps:

• Peel at least one layer of membrane from the veal shank. Heat butter in an ovenproof casserole or Dutch oven large enough to hold the veal. Add shallots and brown over medium-high heat. Remove and reserve. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Dust veal with flour and add to casserole. Lightly brown on all sides. Add garlic, mushrooms, cider, stock and thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover and place in oven for 1 hour.
• Turn veal, add shallots and continue cooking, covered, until veal is tender, another hour or so. Transfer veal to a deep serving platter. Put casserole on the stove over medium heat and add lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon shallots, mushrooms and sauce around meat. Carve veal, slicing more or less parallel to the bone, and serve with sauce and vegetables.

Steps:

• Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil and heat another 30 seconds. Add the shallot and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt to the hot pan and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes or until fragrant and beginning to soften. Add the mushrooms to the pan along with another 1/2 teaspoon salt and the thyme. Cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms have let off some of their juices are beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
• Deglaze with the Marsala, if using, and add the broth and remaining salt. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover the pan, increase the heat to medium and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about an additional 5 minutes. Discard the thyme sprigs, stir in the butter and serve.

• Dredge the pieces of shank in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the pieces in one layer and cook the pieces, turning often, until they are thoroughly browned all over.
• Pour off the fat from the skillet. Scatter the onions, garlic and mushrooms around the meat, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are wilted.
• Add the wine, and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. Add the broth and rosemary, and bring to the boil. Cover closely and place in the oven. Bake one hour and 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Reconstitute the mushrooms by covering them with very hot water. Strain through a fine sieve to remove any grit. Strain the liquid, and reserve.
• Turn heat under a 12-inch skillet to medium-high, and let it sit for a minute. Add veal, and brown on both sides, turning once, for a total of about 6 minutes.
• Remove meat to a plate, and turn heat to medium. Add the mushrooms and about 1/2 cup of their liquid to the skillet, along with wine. Bring to a boil, and cook about 30 seconds, then return veal to skillet. Season with salt and pepper, turn heat to low, and cover.
• Cook 60 to 90 minutes, turning once or twice and checking occasionally to make sure the liquid is bubbling slowly; adjust heat accordingly.
• When meat is tender, remove it to a cutting board. Turn heat under skillet to high, and reduce liquid to a thick, sauce-like consistency. Stir in butter if desired, and keep warm. Carve meat against the grain into slices 1/4 inch thick, and serve with pan juices.
