First, heat a little oil in a roaster and brown the veal shank on both sides, season with salt and remove from the heat.

Peel the celeriac, dice, and place it in the roaster with the remaining oil. Dice the carrots and add. Peel the shallots and garlic. Add the shallots, garlic and dried apricots to the pan and brown briefly.

Pour in the white wine and reduce by half. Add the thyme and veal stock. Add a bay leaf and season to taste with salt and pepper. Briefly bring to a boil. Carefully return the veal shank to the pan.
