Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Dust veal shanks with flour. Heat a large, flameproof baking dish with olive oil until smoking hot. Add veal shanks and brown well on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Add shallots and garlic and saute lightly for about 1 minute. Add white wine and boil until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Add lemon zest, juice, olives, and stock.

Cover with a lid or foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Add basil and rosemary, cover, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes more, until shanks are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot over couscous or rice.

Serves four.
