Method

Brush the veal bones lightly with clarified butter and honey.

Roast them in a hot oven at 220°C for 45 minutes until evenly browned.

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed stock-pot and fry the vegetables, garlic and tomatoes gently without burning.

Add bones to the stock-pot and deglaze the roasting pan with 3.4 litres of water.

Top up the water to clear the bones by 10 cm and bring to the boil.

Skim thoroughly and simmer gently for 150 minutes.

Cook for 120 more minutes, skimming if necessary.

Strain and reduce slightly.
