List of Ingredients
3lbs. veal (preferably veal breast- trimmed into chunks)
1/4 cup flour
2 lge. spanish onions
4 carrots
1 lb. white mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
2 cups white wine
2 cups hvy cream
few sprigs fresh thyme
salt and pepper
1/4 cup olive oil (not extra virgin)
Recipe
1. season veal chunks with salt and pepper, toss them in flour to coat.
2. heat oil in large pot and add veal. brown for 5-10 minutes.
3. add garlic and stir around (3 min.).
4. add onions, carrots, and mushrooms which have been chopped into bite size chunks (5 min.)
5. add white wine and thyme and bring to a simmer. it's best to cover at this point, and simmer for approximately 30 minutes. alternatively, you can simmer with no cover, and add a little H20 if the liquids is not covering the veal.
6. remove cover (if using) add cream, and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
7. adjust the flavor with salt and pepper.
The key concept here is the slow simmering (as opposed to boiling the crap out of it) of the veal in liquid. Otherwise it is very tough meat.
