What goes with Veal Shank?
A cross-cut veal shank combines several small muscles, substantial connective seams and a central marrow bone. These components do not soften at the same rate. Portion thickness and the amount of connective tissue determine the braise more usefully than a fixed cooking time.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Veal Shank?
Tomato and white wine belong in the cooked sauce, while lemon zest, parsley and a small amount of raw garlic give gremolata its fresh contrast. Keep those roles separate. A large volume of strongly reduced sauce can dominate mild veal even when the meat itself is correctly cooked.
