Method

Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Season the veal shin. Heat a heavy ovenproof pan, add a dash of olive oil and seal the meat on all sides. Remove from the pan.
step 2
Into the same pan add the celery, carrots and onion and fry on a fairly high heat until they begin to soften and brown. Add the wine, tomatoes and thyme, bring to the boil, then return the veal to the pan, cover and cook in the oven for 2½-3 hours. Turn the shin after 1 hour. To serve, ladle the juices over the veal and sprinkle over the gremolata.
