VEAL FORCEMEAT RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, over medium heat, add the oil. Season the veal with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, add the veal, brown for 2 minutes. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, tomatoes, peppercorns and stock. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for about 1 hour, or until very tender. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Strain the veal, reserving the liquid. In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, add the veal and puree until smooth. Add the butter, bread crumbs and 1/2 cup of the reserved poaching liquid. Season with salt and pepper. This recipe yields about 2 cups.

VEGGIE 'FORCEMEAT' BALLS

Steps:

• Mix the suet, breadcrumbs, parsley and two eggs together in a large bowl. If too dry, add the third egg - when squeezed, the mixture should clump together. Roll into golf-ball-sized balls (you should get about 14) and arrange in a single layer on a lightly oiled baking tray. Will keep covered and chilled for up to 24 hrs or frozen for three months.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 15-20 mins until golden brown, then serve warm alongside Christmas dinner or as a starter with cranberry sauce.
