SLOW COOKER OLD FASHIONED VEAL STEW

Steps:

• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Grease a large non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Coat the veal in the flour, shaking off any excess. Place in the heated skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until browned. Place the carrots in the bottom of the crock pot. Top with the browned veal. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet, adding butter or oil as needed. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat for 5 minutes or until they begin to soften. Transfer to the crock pot. Add the broth to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, to scrape up any browned bits. Add the sage and oregano. Mix well then pour the broth mixture into the crock pot. Add the tomatoes to the crock pot. Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the veal is tender and the carrots are soft. Serve 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.
