Braised Veal: A Sunday Start-Up Dish

Sunday is always my stay-at-home night to roast a leg of lamb or braise a shoulder of veal so that I have some terrific leftovers to use later in the week.

Ignore all instructions on the supermarket package that direct you to roast veal shoulder; it must be cooked with some moisture to break down the connective fibers.

Bake some potatoes, yams, acorn squash, or beets to serve with the veal and serve a salad either before or after.
