Veal Stew With Potatoes The Recipe For The Great Italian Stew Food

ITALIAN VEAL STEW WITH POTATOES | SPEZZATINO RECIPE

Steps:

• With the help of a small food processor, chop the celery, carrot and onion into small pieces and set aside. Then with a sharp knife, cut the veal into 3 cm (1 inch) pieces.
• Flour the pieces of meat and shake them to remove excess flour. Keep them aside. In a large casserole, make a soffritto with the extra virgin olive oil and the chopped vegetables. Cook over low heat until softened and golden, about 2 minutes.
• Add the floured pieces of meat. Cook over high heat for 3 minutes, turning them from time to time until browned all over. Then add the dry white wine. Mix and let it evaporate completely over high heat.
• Add a couple of ladles of hot stock and a pinch of salt. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat. Let the veal stew cook for about 30 minutes over very low heat, taking care to stir it from time to time. While the veal is cooking, peel the potatoes and cut them into fairly regular pieces of about 4 cm (1 1/2 inch).
• Now add the potatoes. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and the rosemary. Then add a ladle of hot stock.
• Add two tablespoons of tomato paste. Stir and cook for another 45 minutes. During the cooking, don't stir very often or you risk flaking the potatoes. They must be soft, but still intact. Remove the sprig of rosemary before serving. Italian veal stew with potatoes is ready. Serve it hot

BLUEPRINT FOR VEAL STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• In an oven proof casserole, heat, until very hot, half of the oil. In small batches brown the veal cubes on all sides. When one batch is done, add more oil if you need to and continue to brown until all the veal is done. Discard the fat in the casserole and replace it with the butter. Add the carrot, onion and celery, cover and simmer 5 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add the white wine and boil down for a minute or until alcohol has evaporated. Return the veal cubes to the casserole with garlic and add just enough broth to barely cover the veal. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the bouquet garni, put a buttered piece of parchment or brown paper on top of the meat, then a lid on the casserole and set in the oven. Cook for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender.
• Remove casserole from the oven and strain the contents through a sieve and the liquid into another saucepan; discard bouquet garni. Divide solids into 2 batches. Degrease the liquid and boil it down until reduced to 3 cups. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the liquid and add it to half of the meat. Return the other half of the veal to the remaining liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Thicken with beurre manie if you wish. Serve with rice, polenta or potatoes; garnish with parsley.
