For an even richer flavor, consider deglazing the skillet with a splash of dry red wine after searing the veal, scraping up any browned bits and adding it to the slow cooker. If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Garnish with fresh parsley or a gremolata (a mixture of lemon zest, garlic, and parsley) for a burst of freshness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSeason the flour generously with salt and pepper. Dredge the veal shanks in the seasoned flour, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large skillet, melt the butter together with the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the veal shanks in the hot oil until deeply golden brown on all sides, creating a rich crust. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. (20 minutes)
03
StepIn a large slow cooker, create a bed of roughly chopped onions, carrots, and celery, topped with thinly sliced garlic. Arrange the seared veal shanks artfully over the vegetables. (10 minutes)
04
StepPour in the chicken stock and diced tomatoes, allowing the liquids to mingle with the vegetables and meat. Season with fresh oregano and a bay leaf, infusing the dish with aromatic notes. (5 minutes)
05
StepCover and cook on Low for 8 hours, or until the meat is incredibly tender and falling off the bone. The long, slow cooking process melds the flavors, creating a luscious and deeply satisfying dish. (8 hours)
06
StepBefore serving, season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaf. Serve hot over boiled rice or couscous.
