Simmer for approximately 45 minutes, or until meat is fork-tender. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

VEAL WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place veal between two sheets of cling wrap and beat them with a rolling pin or mallet or I've even used a small frypan until very thin (if they're already paper thin when you buy them, don't bother with this step).
• Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large frying pan/skillet over high heat and cook the veal quickly, only about 1 minute on each side, in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan and set aside on a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
• Into the same pan add the remaining butter and the garlic and mushroomns and saute until the mushrooms are browned.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine and simmer until it is almost evaporated and then add the stock, cream and mustard and siommer until the sauce reduces slightly and starts to thicken.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper and then pour over the veal, sprinkle with ground black pepper, if you like.

VEAL RAGOUT WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOM

Steps:

• Place mushrooms in a bowl, cover with warm water and allow to soak 30 to 40 minutes, until softened.
• Heat oil in a heavy casserole. Add veal and brown lightly on all sides. Remove veal from the pan.
• Add fennel, onion and carrots to the casserole and saute over medium heat until tender. Stir in the garlic and cook a few seconds. Stir in the tomatoes and wine. Bring to a simmer and season with sage, salt and pepper. Return the veal to the casserole.
• Drain mushrooms, reserving the liquid. Cut off any tough stems. Add mushrooms and reserve liquid to the casserole. Cover and simmer over low heat until the veal is tender, about one-and-a-half hours. Taste for seasonings. Stir in enough of the tomato paste to lightly thicken the sauce. Continue cooking, uncovered, 15 minutes longer, then check seasonings again.
• Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley.
