1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

3
2 cans (28-ounce) plum tomatoes,
drained and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 bay leaf
¼ cup chopped parsley
1. Season the shanks on all sides with the salt
and pepper.
2. Put the oil into the cooking pot of the
Cuisinart Multicooker and set to Brown/
®
Sauté at 400°F. Once hot, add the shanks.
Brown well on both sides, at least 8 to 10
minutes per side, until deeply browned.
Remove and reserve. Put the butter into
the pot. Once melted, add the onion, leek,
carrots, celery, garlic, rosemary and thyme.
Stir vegetables well to scrape up any brown
bits that are on the bottom of the pot. Cook
until vegetables are softened and slightly
brown, about 5 minutes. Add the wine to the
pot and simmer until completely reduced.
3. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste and bay
leaf and nestle the veal shanks in the liquid,
being sure that the liquid comes halfway up
the meat. Switch unit to Slow Cook on Low
for 10 to 12 hours.
4. When unit switches to keep warm, it is
recommended to degrease the top of the
liquid before serving. Either remove grease
with a ladle or blot with a fat mop or paper
towel.
5. Once ready to serve, stir in chopped
parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning
accordingly.
