Meat
Leg
Leg of Veal is whole haunch or poultry leg for roasting and braising. Cook long enough for collagen and safety. Cook veal leg to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Escalopes, osso buco, chops, and roasts show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
