Veal Shanks With Caramelized Onions And Sage

We would never know God’s righteousness unless there’s a backdrop of sin; we would never know His saving love unless there’s the backdrop of unworthiness and unloveliness. We would never understand His wrath if there were not an opportunity for judgment. We would never know His mercy if there were not an opportunity for forgiveness. We would never understand grace if He could not bless those who are unworthy.

INSTRUCTIONS

Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Combine flour and dried sage in

oil in heavy large very wide pot over medium-high heat. Working in
batches, cook veal until brown, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer
veal to bowl.  Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same pot. Add onions
and saute  until beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to
medium and  saute onions until very deep brown, about 35 minutes
longer. Add  garlic and saute 5 minutes. Add whole sage leaves and
reserved 3  tablespoons flour mixture; stir 2 minutes. Add wine; bring
to boil.  Arrange veal in single layer in pot. Add broth. Cover and
simmer over  medium-low heat until meat is very tender but does not
fall off bone,  about 1 hour 45 minutes. Uncover; simmer until juices
thicken enough  to coat spoon, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and
pepper.  Place 1 veal shank on each plate. Spoon sauce and onion
mixture over.  Sprinkle with additional fresh sage.  Makes 6 servings.
