Veal brisket is the boned veal breast. If you don’t have a roasting pan large enough to hold both briskets, divide the ingredients in half and bake in two pans.
If the veal is difficult to find, substitute one 5-pound (2kg) flat-cut beef brisket and roast until tender, about 3½ hours.
Leftovers freeze well and make great sandwiches.
