4 anchovy fillets
1 med. Onion
parsley sprigs
1 tbs. Salt
1 garlic clove, sliced lengthwise into 4 pieces
3 tbs. Olive oil
2 1/2 c. veal sauce (recipe below)
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper Recipe
Makes 4 shallow cuts into veal and insert sliced garlic. Cover each garlic piece with anchovy fillet and lightly tie all around with a string so fillets and garlic remain in place.
Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. In a small saucepan, place oil and sliced onion. Add the meat and brown on all sides, turning meat frequently.
Add 2 1/2 cups of water and bring to a rapid boil. Lower the heat and cook, covered, for 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Uncover and boil down until the liquid is reduced in half.
Transfer the meat to a glass, ceramic or plastic container, and strain the liquid over the meat. Let cool and store in refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
Drain, remove the string and cut into very thin slices. Arrange the slices on a serving plate in layers, covering each layer with veal sauce.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate again. Garnish with parsley and serve with cold rice salad.
