1 large carrot, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
6 fresh sage leaves
1 cup dry white wine

Preheat oven to 350. Heat olive oil in oven proof pan. Brown veal shanks. Remove from pan and add chopped carrot and onions. Saute until tender. Add garlic and saute for another minute. Add rosemary and sage, one cup of white wine, chicken broth and a squirt of tomato paste. Cover and put in the oven for approximately 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender. Check occasionally to make sure there is sufficient liquid.

Serve over Polenta or Risotto and sprinkle with Gremolata.
