This simple stew is bursting with the sweet flavour of root vegetables, complemented by the mild taste of tender Ontario veal. The late addition of the carrots, parsnips and turnips allows them to retain their fresh flavour and form. Serve with crusty whole grain bread and a glass of your favourite red wine.

Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C).

In bowl or re-sealable bag, toss flour and half the salt and pepper with veal until completely coated.

In large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown veal on all sides, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer veal to plate. Stir in onion, celery and leeks, cooking until vegetables are tender and starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic, remaining salt and pepper, bay leaves, thyme and rosemary. Deglaze pan with wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in broth and return veal to pan. Bring to simmer.

Cover and transfer to oven for one hour. Add carrots, parsnips and turnip, stirring to combine. Cover and return to oven until vegetables are tender and veal is fork tender, about 1 hour.

Serve with a green salad and crusty whole grain bread to soak up the yummy sauce.
