    • In same pot, in drippings over medium heat, saute onion, carrot, celery, and garlic until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add wine, tomatoes and liquid, next 5 ingredients (through chicken bouillon), and browned veal. Stir to combine.
    • Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to simmer; cover and cook 1 1/4 hours or until veal is fork tender, stir occasionally.
    • Meanwhile, prepare the Risotto alla Milanese.
    • Before serving, discard bay leaf, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with risotto.
