Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I used this recipe for beef shanks rather than veal so I cooked this for an extra 30 minutes until the beef was tender. I would use half the salt if I made this again. I found the sauce extremely salty. I also subbed red wine for white which was fine.

    Made this with a few minor changes. Used all onion as had no leeks and had no white wine in the house so substituted extra chicken stock. I also cooked this for almost 3 hours and it was fantastic. Will agree that there was a lot more flour than needed to coat the meat. Rave reviews all round and even better the next day.

    I made this a day ahead and reheated. I accidentally baked it for 2 hrs 25 min - caught just in time before it scorched. Only used 6 veal shanks, which was plenty for 5-6 people. Delicious! So flavorful. I used less salt because I used canned broth. There is a lot more flour than needed to coat the veal.
