Veal Fricassee As I Like It! image

Although fricassee means preparing in white sauce, I made a step aside following Mediterranean tracks. I came up this recipe from the top of my head: I had some veal schnitzels that were too small for making a serious Wiener schnitzel or something, and the meat was too good just to chop them into goulash or risotto. So, with ingredients I had in my kitchen I made this (and liked it):

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 portions, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

800 g veal (small schnitzels)
300 g onions
100 g pancetta (Dalmatian)
1 tablespoon olive oil
20 g butter
3 garlic cloves
5 cloves
1/4 teaspoon hot paprika
1 cup wine (white)
200 g tomatoes (strained thick juice)
1 bay leaf
1 cup stock (veal or beef)
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon sugar (brown)
5 g salt

Steps:

  • Prepare veal schnitzels (thin them slightly) put one side into flour.
  • Mince onion, garlic and pancetta. Sauté onion on olive oil until becomes translucent; than add garlic and pancetta. Sauté for two more minutes.
  • Add butter and when melts put schnitzels into pot. When meat shrinks turn them to another side and sauté 15-20 minute
  • Add white wine and when alcohol evaporates add tomato, cloves, hot paprika and bay leaf. Be careful with salt (pancetta is salty).
  • Cook 50 minutes on easy fire. Try it, if it is not salty add salt, or if is too sour (tomato) add sugar.
  • Occasionally add veal stock to prevent burning. When sauce is thick and all spices gave flavor, serve hot with pasta, rice, potato or whatever.
