Roasted Veal Shanks with RosemaryMarcus Nilsson

Because the veal shanks are so impressive, Lidia likes to bring the veal (still on the bone) to the table for guests to admire. She then takes the meat back into the kitchen, carves it, and serves it family-style.

What to drink:

A spicy, earthy red wine—like the Bastianich 2006 Vespa Rosso (Italy, $38)—is fantastic with the rich meat.
