Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F. Place veal pieces in a bowl; sprinkle all over with pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with flour, and toss to coat. Melt butter with oil in a 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven over high. Working in 2 batches, add veal; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, 6 to 7 minutes per batch. Transfer veal to a bowl using a slotted spoon; set aside. Pour off drippings from Dutch oven.

Step 2

Stir together 3/4 cup boiling water and demi-glace until demi-glace is dissolved. Add demi-glace mixture, cherries, honey, cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaf to Dutch oven; bring to a boil over high, scraping bottom of pan to loosen browned bits. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Uncover; nestle veal in cherry mixture.

Step 3

Cover and roast in preheated oven until veal is very tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove and discard cinnamon, cardamom, and bay leaf. Stir in remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.
