with beef leg slices

Season the meat with salt and pepper and coat in flour. Clean and peel the carrots, then cut them into thick slices. Peel the onions and garlic and chop them roughly. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Brown the leg of veal in a roasting pan, add the vegetables and herbs, pour in the white wine, and braise everything in the oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about two hours. Arrange the meat on a platter with the braised vegetables and the sauce. Tip: In Italy, ossobuco is eaten with potatoes, tagliatelle, or rice. Another tip: The effort required to prepare ossobuco is relatively minimal. You just need to make sure that the white wine you use is of good to very good quality.
