Osso Buco: Preheat oven to 350F. Finely chop shallots and garlic. Finely
slice whites only of leeks. Dice carrots. Chop canned tomatoes.
To prepare osso buco: Dip shanks in flour until fully coated. In large

minutes per side, or until golden colour is achieved. Remove from skillet

shallots, garlic and leeks and saute about 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden.
Add wine and deglaze skillet.
In large roasting pan, combine veal shanks, shallot mixture and all
remaining ingredients except stock. Add enough stock to just cover shanks.
Cover pan and cook in oven 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until veal is tender,
checking occasionally. Remove lid for last 1/2 hour to thicken sauce. If
meat is tender, but sauce has not thickened slightly, remove veal from an

until garlic turns golden. Add peppers, zest, slat and pepper. Add boiling
