Toss veal in flour; shake away excess. Heat 2 tbsp oil in large Dutch oven; cook veal, in batches, until browned.

Return veal to pan with tomatoes and stock; bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 45 mins. Uncover and simmer for 1 hour, or until veal and vegetables are tender.
Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. In a small bowl, combine all the gremolata ingredients; set aside.
For the cheesy semolina, combine milk, salt, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and gradually stir in the semolina. Stir over low heat for 5 mins, or until thick. Remove from heat, stir in 3/4 cup of the cheese and the egg.
Place veal mixture in a 2 1/2-qt ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with half the gremolata and cover with cheesy semolina. Brush with butter and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 25 mins, or until top is lightly browned. Serve with remaining gremolata.
