Veal Pasta Stew Recipes

VEAL-PASTA STEW

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook half of the veal in oil, stirring occasionally, until brown on all sides. Remove veal from Dutch oven; drain. Cook remaining veal in Dutch oven (add 1 tablespoon of the oil if necessary) until brown on all sides. Remove veal from Dutch oven; drain.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in oil, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender. Stir in veal, broth, vegetable juice, wine, rosemary, oregano, salt, pepper and carrots. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer about 1 hour or until veal is tender.
• Stir in pasta. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in zucchini. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes or until pasta and zucchini are tender. Mix water and flour; stir into veal mixture. Simmer 1 minute, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.

VEAL STEW WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC

Steps:

• In a heavy casserole (which can go in the oven) brown batches of the veal in the oil until golden on all sides. As you brown the cubes, remove them to a platter. When they are all brown, add the leeks and carrots to the casserole and saute them for about 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. With a slotted spoon remove the cooked vegetables and discard the fat from the casserole.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Return the cooked leeks and carrots to the bottom of the casserole. Return the browned veal meat and place them over the vegetables. Add the wine and, over moderate heat, reduce the wine to almost nothing. Add the stock and bouquet garni and bring the liquid to a simmer. Add the garlic, salt and pepper. Cover the stew with a piece of foil with the edges turned upwards to catch the steam which will collect under the lid. Cover the casserole with a lid (or other piece of foil) and set in oven. Braise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
• Strain the solids from the liquid and keep warm. Remove excess fat and reduce liquid to 1 1/2 cups. Adjust the seasoning. Serve dusted with fresh dill. Accompany with rice, plain boiled potatoes or the mashed potatoes and spinach (see recipe below).
