Ingredients

Directions

  • 4 pieces veal shanks (about 1.5 kg / 3.3 lbs), Halal
  • 1 tsp salt (5 g)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (2.5 g)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (45 ml)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 500 ml Halal chicken stock (2 cups)
  • 400 g canned tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste (30 g)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 300 g Arborio rice (1.5 cups)
  • A pinch of saffron threads
  • 1 liter Halal chicken stock (4 cups)
  • 1 small white onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (30 ml)
  • 1 tsp salt (5 g)
  1. Season the veal shanks with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the shanks on all sides until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  4. Return the veal shanks to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls off the bone.
  5. For the risotto, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add saffron threads and Arborio rice, stirring to coat the rice with oil.
  6. Gradually add the halal chicken stock, a ladle at a time, stirring continuously until each addition is absorbed. Cook for 18-20 minutes, until the risotto is creamy and al dente. Season with salt.
