Best Veal Stew With Potatoes Tomatoes And Oregano Recipes

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

CLASSIC ITALIAN VEAL SPEZZATINO

Steps:

• Mix cornstarch, paprika, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pat veal chunks dry and toss them with cornstarch mixture to coat.
• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add veal pieces to the pot, one by one, and brown on all sides. Set aside leftover cornstarch.
• Reduce heat slightly and add onion, carrot, celery, and red chile pepper; cook until fragrant, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in broth and wine. Deglaze pot using a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits off the bottom. Add potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and bay leaf. Stir and cover.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until veal is fork-tender, potatoes are cooked, and liquid has thickened, about 1 hour. Add some water from time to time to keep the stew from burning, but don't let it get soupy. Add leftover cornstarch if the stew needs thickening at the end.

VEAL STEW WITH TOMATO, ALLSPICE AND FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a heavy pot with a lid, heat oil over high heat. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper and lightly brown on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding pan. Remove meat as it is browned. To empty pot, add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and golden. Add spices and cook, stirring, a few seconds, then stir in tomato paste. Pour in 1 cup water and bring to a simmer, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan.
• Nestle meat into liquid, cover and cook at a bare simmer for at least 2 hours, turning meat every 20 minutes or so, until very soft and tender. Liquid will thicken to a sauce, but if it becomes too thick, add more water a little at a time.
• When meat has cooked for 2 hours, peel potatoes and cut in half first lengthwise and then crosswise into 1/2-inch- thick half-moons. Heat 2 inches oil in another pot to about 375 degrees. Working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding pan, fry potatoes until just golden and cooked through but not soft, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• When sauce is thick and meat is falling apart, stew is done; this may take up to 3 hours. If needed, break meat up with a wooden spoon. Stir in potatoes and mix gently but thoroughly, so that potatoes absorb sauce. Serve hot.
