• Make a space in the middle, and place in your veal, surrounded by the veg. Tuck the bay into the veal and pour in the wine and 100ml water.
• Bring to the boil, then cover with a circle of greaseproof paper and simmer for 2 to 2 hours 30 minutes, till the veal is tender. Check the liquid level every 20 minutes or so, adding water as necessary.
• When the veal is ready, place a frying pan on a medium-high heat with the remaining butter. Tear in the mushrooms and fry until they start to turn golden.
• Season, and stir into the veal with the double cream. Bring back to the boil then simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, till reduced.
• Transfer the veal to a board and slice. Serve with braised veg, buttered spätzli or noodles and cabbage gratin.

BRAISED VEAL SHANKS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 325 F. If not already done by butcher, tie a single strand of kitchen twine around meat to hold it to the bone during cooking.
• Coat shanks with flour and shake off excess.
• In a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or casserole (with a lid) large enough to hold meat in a single layer, heat butter and oil over medium heat.
• Brown shanks on tops and bottoms for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• Remove shanks to a plate.
• Add onion and garlic to pot and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, or until onion is softened.
• Add wine, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a gentle boil, scraping up browned bits on the bottom of the casserole.
• Remove from heat and arrange meat in a single layer, cut-side up, in casserole. Spoon a little of the liquid over top of meat.
• Cover (if lid does not cover tightly, cover first with foil, then with lid) and bake for 2 hours, or until meat is very tender.
• Optional: While shanks are cooking, make gremolata. Mix parsley, lemon zest, and garlic in a small bowl.
• Remove pot from oven and carefully lift shanks from cooking liquid to serving platter. Skim and discard fat from liquid, then spoon cooking liquid around shanks.
• Sprinkle gremolata over shanks. Insert rosemary sprigs in the marrow of each shank, if desired.

BRAISED VEAL BREAST

Steps:

• Prepare the boneless veal breast by removing and discarding all visible fat. Let the meat come to room temperature.
• Roll the meat into a roll, tightly turning one edge inside and on top of itself, like a jellyroll. Cut 4 or 5 12-inch lengths of kitchen twine and tie the roll so that it keeps its uniform shape.
• Season the entire roll with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place a large French oven or braising pan (one that has a cover) over high heat. Add the canola oil and heat for 30 seconds until shimmering.
• Add the meat and brown on all sides. This will take about 10 minutes. Don't rush this step because the browning adds important flavor to the dish.
• Remove the meat to a plate and add the carrots, onion, celery and garlic to the pan. Lower the meat to medium and cook until the vegetables soften, about 6 minutes.
• Pour in the wine. Let it boil, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to remove all the brown bits.
• Add 3 cups of chicken stock and bring to a boil, then immediately lower to a simmer. Do not add any more salt or pepper at any point because through the cooking, the flavors will concentrate and the seasoning on the meat before you browned it will probably be enough. You can also adjust for seasonings at the very end of the cooking.
• Return the meat to the pan. If the meat isn't submerged at least half-way in the stock/wine mixture, add more stock until it is, up to one more cup.
• Cover the pan and adjust the heat so that the liquid is at a low simmer. Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, turning the meat over at least once half-way through the cooking.
• When the meat is tender and soft to your touch (press it with the tips of your fingers and make sure that it gives a bit), remove the veal roll from the cooking liquid and place on a plate. Cover with foil to keep it warm.
• Turn the heat up under the remaining cooking liquid and bring to a boil and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half. Check to see if it has reached a sauce-like thickness by dipping a teaspoon in the liquid, turn the spoon over and run your finger through the liquid coating the spoon. If it leaves a clear mark, it has probably thickened enough.
• Strain the liquid through a fine-holed sieve to remove the vegetables. Return the sauce to the pan and add the minced herbs. Taste for seasoning.
• Slice the meat into 1/2-inch pieces and drizzle the sauce over the slices or else pass the sauce in a separate serving dish.

BRAISED VEAL SHANKS WITH CARROTS, PARSNIPS, AND TURNIPS

Steps:

• Season the veal with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet and sear the veal shanks over high heat on all sides until well browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the browned veal shanks from the skillet and place them in an ovenproof casserole. To the same skillet in which you browned the veal, add the diced vegetables, along with the whole garlic cloves, and saute them for 3 to 4 minutes.
• When the vegetables have begun to cook and wilt, add the tomato paste and combine thoroughly. Be careful not to burn the tomato paste. Add the white wine and the chicken or veal stock and bring to a boil. Carefully pour the vegetable liquid mixture over the veal shanks in the casserole and braise covered in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes. The veal should be fork tender, with the meat just beginning to separate from the bone when you remove them from the oven. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

DUCK BRAISED WITH TURNIPS AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from duck and reserve. Season flesh side with salt and pepper. Place a 4-quart oven-proof casserole over medium-high heat, and put a 2-inch piece of fat in casserole; when fat starts to render, remove it. Add duck pieces, skin side down, and sear without turning until skin is golden brown. Do not crowd duck; add pieces a few at a time. When duck is seared discard all but a thin film of the fat in the pot.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place shallots and turnips in casserole and sear, turning gently, over medium heat until golden. Remove to a dish and season with salt and pepper. Pour wine into casserole and simmer briefly, scraping bottom of pan. Add garlic and stock. Return duck to casserole, skin side up. Add thyme, cover and bake 45 minutes.
• Remove casserole from oven. Remove duck. Skim excess fat from casserole. Place shallots and turnips in casserole, place duck pieces on top of vegetables, cover and bake 1 hour.
• Remove duck from casserole and skim excess fat from sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Return duck to casserole. Just before serving, reheat briefly on top of stove.

BRAISED ROAST OF VEAL WITH TURNIPS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a Dutch oven (cast-iron or enamel) and, when hot, brown the roast on all sides over moderate heat for about 20 minutes.
• Remove the meat, sprinkle with one teaspoon of the salt and a half teaspoon of the pepper, and set aside.
• Place the vegetables and bouquet garni in the pan and brown, stirring, over medium heat for about five minutes, then mix in the remaining salt and pepper.
• Return the roast to the pan, arranging it on top of the vegetables. Add a third of a cup of water, cover closely with a piece of parchment or waxed paper and put the lid on the pan. Place in a 350-degree oven for one and a half hours, basting or turning the roast in its juices about every 20 minutes.
• Serve the roast, sliced, with the natural juices and surrounded by the cooked vegetables, on a large, warm platter.

POT-ROAST VEAL WITH NEW-SEASON CARROTS & ORANGE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Stud the gaps in the veal joint with the sliced garlic and some thyme, then season well.
• Heat oil and butter in a deep flameproof casserole dish and spend a good 15 mins slowly sizzling the veal until brown all over. Remove the joint to a plate and add the carrots, shallot and icing sugar, then cook for 5 mins until everything is slightly caramelised. Lift out the carrots but leave everything else in the dish. Add the rest of the thyme, bashed garlic and the pared orange zest. Nestle the veal back in the dish and pour over the wine, then the stock. Cover and put in the oven for 1 hr.
• Remove the dish from the oven, uncover, and scatter the carrots around the meat. Return the dish to the oven for 1 hr, uncovered. Cook until the meat is very tender, then leave to cool slightly. Lift the meat onto a board and carve into slices. Serve with the juices from the dish and the tender carrots.

PAN ROASTED VEAL SHOULDER

Steps:

• Mince garlic with anchovies.
• If veal is encased in a net, remove net and with kitchen string tie veal crosswise at 1-inch intervals.
• Pat veal dry and sprinkle with pepper. You may want to hold off on the salt until serving because the anchovies are salty.
• In a heavy kettle just large enough to hold veal heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and brown veal well, turning it.
• Transfer veal to a plate.
• In oil remaining in kettle cook anchovy mixture, stirring, 1 minute.
• Add wine and boil 1 minute.
• Return veal to kettle and simmer, partly covered, turning veal every 20 minutes and adding water/broth or even more wine as needed (about 3 tablespoons at a time; do not let liquid completely evaporate,there should always be just enough to keep veal from sticking to kettle), 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until fork tender.
• Transfer veal to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
• Skim any fat from liquid in kettle.
• Add 1/3 cup broth and simmer, scraping up brown bits from bottom and side of kettle, until liquid has consistency of thin gravy.
• Transfer pan juices to a platter.
• Cut veal crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and discard string.
• Arrange slices over pan juices and spoon sauce over meat.

BEER BRAISED LAMB SHOULDER WITH ONIONS AND TURNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Rub the lamb with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Preheat a 14-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned lamb and sear for 5 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until browned, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Once heated, add the leeks and onions and cook until they begin to become tender, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• After 30 minutes, remove one of the lamb shoulders from the oven and set aside. Add half of the turnips to the pan and return to the oven. Allow to continue roasting until everything is cooked through, about another 30 minutes.
• Add the other lamb shoulder to a stovetop pressure cooker along with the cooked leeks, onions, beer and remaining turnips. Secure the pressure cooker lid and follow the manufacturer's instructions to bring to high pressure over medium heat. Pressure cook for 20 minutes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to carefully quick-release the steam and unlock the lid. Add everything in the pressure cooker to a large pan or shallow dish and stir, breaking up the lamb. Add to a platter. Add the roasted lamb and turnips to the same platter and serve.

VEAL BREAST STRACOTTO

Steps:

• To season the veal, place the breast in a nonreactive baking dish and season it all over with the salt and pepper, using approximately 1 teaspoon of salt per pound of meat. If your butcher did not roll and tie the veal breast, roll it tightly lengthwise into a long log shape and tie it with kitchen twine in five or six places along the roll. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, if you are making the stock, adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Place the veal bones on a baking sheet and roast them, shaking the pan occasionally for even cooking, until they're evenly browned, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the bones to a large stockpot. Add the chicken stock and bring it to a boil over high heat, skimming off the foam that rises to the top. Add the leek, onion, and carrot, reduce the heat, and simmer the stock for 1 hour, skimming as needed. Remove the stock from the heat, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer, and discard the contents of the strainer. Use the stock, or set aside to cool to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days.
• To braise the veal, adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Cut the veal in half, if necessary, for it to fit in the pan. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or large, high-sided sauté pan until the oil is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the veal in the pan to sear to deep brown on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the veal to a plate.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the remaining olive oil to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the prosciutto, and cook, stirring constantly, to render the fat but not to brown the prosciutto, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase the heat to medium, add the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil, and warm the oil for a minute or two before adding the celery, carrot, and onion. Season the vegetables with the pepper, and sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent it from browning. Move the vegetables to create a bare spot in the pan, add the tomato paste to that spot, and cook for 1 minute more, stirring, to caramelize the tomato paste slightly. Add the wine, increase the heat to high, and boil until it reduces by about half, about 5 minutes. Return the veal and any juices that have collected on the plate it was resting on to the pan. Pour in enough stock to come half to three-fourths of the way up the veal breast, about 4 cups. Increase the heat to medium high and bring the stock to a simmer. Turn off the heat. If you have industrial-strength plastic wrap, which won't melt in the oven, cover the Dutch oven or pan tightly with plastic wrap. In either case, cover tightly with aluminum foil and place the lid on if it has one. Place the veal in the oven for 2 hours. Remove the pot from the oven and uncover it. Add the turnips, nestling them in the sauce, return the lid to the pot, and place it back in the oven for about 1 hour, until the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are tender. Remove the veal from the oven and remove and discard the foil and plastic wrap (if you used it) from the pan, being careful not to burn yourself with the steam that will rise from the pan. Allow the meat to cool in the braising liquid for at least 30 minutes. You can prepare the veal to this point up to five days in advance. Cool the meat and turnips to room temperature in the braising liquid. Remove the vegetables and transfer them to an airtight container. Cover the pot with plastic or transfer the veal with the liquid to an airtight container and refrigerate until you are ready to serve it. (You will proceed slightly differently.)
• If you have prepared the veal in advance and are rewarming it, preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the veal and turnips from the refrigerator. Remove and discard the fat from the liquid and pour it into a large Dutch oven or stovetop-safe baking dish and cook as directed below to thicken. Remove the string and slice the veal as directed below and lay the slices in the sauce, resting them on top of one another, domino fashion. Nestle the turnips around the veal and place the dish in the oven for about 30 minutes, basting the vegetables and the veal with the sauce occasionally, until the meat is warmed through.
• If you are serving the dish the same day, remove the veal and turnips to a plate, skim the fat from the braising liquid, and bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer the liquid until it is the consistency of a thick glaze or thin gravy, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan; it will be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• To make the garnish, combine the parsley leaves, celery leaves, and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Drizzle the leaves with the finishing-quality olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and toss gently to combine.
• To serve, cut off and discard the string from the veal and cut it into eight slices of even thickness. Lay two slices of veal on each of four plates, resting one at an angle on top of the other. Nestle the turnips around the veal, dividing them evenly, and ladle the sauce over the meat. Pile the garnish on each serving, dividing it evenly, and serve.
