Best Veal Stew With Red Wine And Peppers Recipes

VEAL STEW WITH 40 CLOVES OF GARLIC

Steps:

• In a heavy casserole (which can go in the oven) brown batches of the veal in the oil until golden on all sides. As you brown the cubes, remove them to a platter. When they are all brown, add the leeks and carrots to the casserole and saute them for about 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. With a slotted spoon remove the cooked vegetables and discard the fat from the casserole.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Return the cooked leeks and carrots to the bottom of the casserole. Return the browned veal meat and place them over the vegetables. Add the wine and, over moderate heat, reduce the wine to almost nothing. Add the stock and bouquet garni and bring the liquid to a simmer. Add the garlic, salt and pepper. Cover the stew with a piece of foil with the edges turned upwards to catch the steam which will collect under the lid. Cover the casserole with a lid (or other piece of foil) and set in oven. Braise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
• Strain the solids from the liquid and keep warm. Remove excess fat and reduce liquid to 1 1/2 cups. Adjust the seasoning. Serve dusted with fresh dill. Accompany with rice, plain boiled potatoes or the mashed potatoes and spinach (see recipe below).

VEAL STEW WITH RED WINE

Steps:

• 1 Place the flour on a sheet of wax paper. Pat the veal dry, then toss the veal with the flour. Shake off the excess. 2 In a large Dutch oven or other deep, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, melt the butter with the oil over medium heat. Add just enough of the veal pieces to fit comfortably in a single layer without crowding. Cook, turning the pieces often, until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer the veal to a dish. Cook the remaining veal in the same way. 3 Add the onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the wine and cook, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon, until the wine comes to a simmer. Return the meat to the pan and add the broth, garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper. Partially cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. 4 Cook 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender when pierced with a fork. Add a little more broth or water if the sauce becomes too thick. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone.

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.

Steps:

Add butter to same pot and let melt. Working in batches, add veal to pot and sauté until brown, about 6 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer veal to bowl. Add wine, tomatoes with juices and sage to pot, breaking up tomatoes with back of spoon and scraping up any browned bits. Return veal and any accumulated juices to pot; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 30 minutes.
