1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic minced
2 onions small, roughly chopped

1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg
2/3 cup semolina

1 large egg lightly beaten

1
Toss veal in flour; shake away excess. Heat 2 tbsp oil in large Dutch oven; cook veal, in batches, until browned.
2
Heat the remaining oil in same dish; cook garlic, onion, carrots, and celery, stirring, until soft. Add wine, boil until almost evaporated. Return veal to pan with tomatoes and stock; bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 45 mins. Uncover and simmer for 1 hour, or until veal and vegetables are tender.

5
Place veal mixture in a 2 1/2-qt ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with half the gremolata and cover with cheesy semolina. Brush with butter and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 25 mins, or until top is lightly browned. Serve with remaining gremolata.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
