My family has come to expect these tender veal shanks for every special occasion we celebrate. Risotto and a green salad round out the meal nicely.—Lorraine Caland, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Ingredients

1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

6 to 7 pounds veal shanks, cut into 2-inch-thick slices
1/3 cup canola oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small carrot, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

GARNISH (GREMOLATA):
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Preheat oven to 325°. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour, salt and pepper. Add veal, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. In an ovenproof Dutch oven, brown meat in oil in batches on all sides; drain.
