Transfer to a warm platter, then repeat with remaining veal.
• Transfer the last of the cooked meat to the warm platter and return pan to heat. Reduce heat to medium low. Add wine to veal pan and scrape up pan drippings with wine and add lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan. Pour pan juices over veal and serve.

ROAST VEAL BRISKET WITH MARSALA-MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Season veal generously with dried thyme, salt and pepper. Heat heavy large skillet over high heat. Add veal bones and cook until some fat is rendered, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add onions and sauté until brown, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle flour over and stir 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to large roasting pan, spreading onions in center and bones around edge. Add 1 brisket to same skillet and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer brisket to roasting pan and place atop onions. Repeat with second brisket.
• Add button mushrooms, stock, Marsala, dried mushrooms, garlic and allspice to same skillet. Bring mixture to boil, scraping up browned bits. Cover tightly with heavy-duty foil. Roast until briskets are very tender, about 2 hours. Uncover; let cool at least 30 minutes.
• Transfer briskets to platter. Remove bones from pan and discard. Spoon onions into strainer set over large saucepan. Press onions hard to release juices. Discard onions in strainer. Set mushrooms aside. Strain pan juices in roasting pan into same large saucepan. Spoon fat from top of pan juices and discard. Boil until pan juices coat spoon lightly, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Mince garlic with anchovies. If veal is encased in a net, remove net and with kitchen string tie veal crosswise at 1-inch intervals.
• Pat veal dry. In a heavy kettle just large enough to hold veal heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and brown veal well, turning it. Transfer veal to a plate. In oil remaining in kettle cook anchovy mixture, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and boil 1 minute.
• Return veal to kettle and simmer, partly covered, turning veal every 20 minutes and adding water as needed (about 3 tablespoons at a time; do not let liquid completely evaporate‑there should always be just enough to keep veal from sticking to kettle), 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 155° F. for medium.
• Transfer veal to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Skim any fat from liquid in kettle. Add 1/3 cup water and simmer, scraping up brown bits from bottom and side of kettle, until liquid has consistency of thin gravy.
• Transfer pan juices to a platter. Cut veal crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and discard string. Arrange slices over pan juices and spoon salsa verde over meat.
