Veal Shoulder Stew Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; cook and stir until onion is tender.
• Add meat to the pot, and brown evenly.
• Stir in tomato sauce and white wine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until tender.

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:

• Dry veal pieces with paper towel, then sprinkle lightly on all sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in heavy Dutch oven or casserole. When it begins to smoke add layer of veal. Pieces should not touch each other. Brown over moderate heat, turning pieces so they brown evenly. When first batch is brown, remove and reserve. Add second batch and continue until brown. Add more oil if needed.
• Add mushrooms to pan and brown quickly. When juice subsides, remove mushrooms. Add onions to pan and stir in hot fat until golden brown on all sides. Remove from pan.
• Pour oil from pot leaving about 2 tablespoons. Return veal to pan and add butter. Stir over low heat until butter melts. Sprinkle veal with flour. Saute over moderate heat and stir with wooden spoon until flour is absorbed.
• Add garlic, shallots, wine, stock or water, parsley, bay leaf, thyme and tomatoes. Bring to boil. Cover pan, reduce heat and simmer gently but steadily for about 45 minutes or until meat is almost entirely tender. Add more wine and stock if needed.
• Return mushrooms and onions to pan and cook for 30 minutes or until meat and onion are tender. Adjust seasonings, remove bay leaf and parsley, and skim fat from surface of sauce. If sauce seems thin, or if color needs brightening, stir in tomato puree and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Turn into serving dish and top with minced parsley and toasted French bread. Boiled potatoes, green noodles or rice are optional garnishes.

Steps:

• 1. FOR THE STEW: Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 300 degrees. 2. Season the veal generously with salt and pepper to taste. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large ovenproof Dutch oven over high heat until smoking. Add half of the veal and cook, stirring frequently, until it has released its juices and is lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the veal to plate and set aside. Add another tablespoon oil to the pot and repeat with the remaining veal. Transfer the second batch of veal to the plate. 3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the now-empty pot and heat it over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and cook, scraping the pot bottom occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the onions are soft and lightly browned, 6 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 10 to 30 seconds. Add the flour and cook for 20 seconds. Add the wine, scraping up any bits on the pot bottom, and simmer until thickened. Increase the heat to high and add the broth, stirring constantly and scraping the pan edges. Add the tomatoes, bay leaves, and meat along with any accumulated juices on the plate, and bring to a simmer. Cover and place the pot in the oven. Cook for 1½ to 1¾ hours, until the veal is tender 4. FOR THE GREMOLATA: Combine the garlic, lemon zest, and parsley together in a small bowl and set aside. 5. Remove the pot from the oven and stir in the gremolata. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine flour, salt and pepper in a baggie and add veal, shaking bag to coat veal.Remove veal from baggie and shake off excess flour.
• In a large skillet, melt butter with oil over medium high heat. Add veal in batches and brown on all sides. Transfer veal to large oven proof dish (I used a 3-quart casserole).
• Using string or twine(or unwaxed dental floss works great) tie celery pieces around herb and bay leaf to make a bouquet garni. Add to veal.
• Add tomatoes, onion and garlic to skillet, and cook over medium low heat for 10 minutes or until onion is tender. Pour over veal.
• Dissolve saffron in 1/4 cup of beef broth and then stir into skillet. Add remaining broth and wine to skillet and simmer 5 minutes. Pour over veal.
• Bake covered for 1 1/2 hours.
• Uncover and bake for 1 hour.
• Discard bouquet garni.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Stew meat and vegetables:
• Cut meat away from veal breastbone, reserving bone, and cut meat into 2-inch pieces.
• Bring veal breast and shoulder, veal bone, and water to a boil over moderate heat in a 7- to 8-quart heavy pot, skimming froth. While water is heating, wrap parsley, thyme, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a small square of cheesecloth and tie into a bundle to make a bouquet. Add bouquet garni and onions to pot and simmer, uncovered, until veal is tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 300°F.
• Transfer veal with a slotted spoon to a heatproof serving dish and keep warm in oven, covered with foil.
• Discard veal bone, onions, and bouquet garni, then pour stock through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Return stock to cleaned pot, add carrots and leek, and simmer until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer vegetables to serving dish. Boil stock until reduced to about 2 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes.
• While stock is reducing, heat butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook mushrooms, stirring, until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to serving dish and season veal and vegetables with salt and pepper. Keep warm in oven.
• Make sauce:
• Melt butter in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, then stir in flour. Cook roux, stirring, 3 minutes (do not let brown). Whisk in reduced stock and simmer, uncovered, whisking occasionally, 15 minutes. Whisk together yolks and crème fraîche in a small bowl, then whisk in 1 cup sauce. Whisk yolk mixture into remaining sauce with lemon juice, then cook over moderately low heat (do not let boil), stirring constantly, until it reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer and coats back of a wooden spoon.
• Season sauce with salt and pepper and pour over veal and vegetables.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season veal with salt and pepper, and saute quickly, stirring to brown the pieces on all sides. Remove to a platter.
• Reduce heat to medium, add shallots and 3 tablespoons water, and saute until water has evaporated, about 1 minute. Add garlic and flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute longer. Add wine and simmer for 2 minutes. Add stock, the veal with any juices from platter, sage, and thyme, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat so that stew is barely simmering, cover, and cook for 30 minutes. Add potatoes, cover, and cook for 25 minutes longer, or until meat and potatoes are tender.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot. Add mushrooms, and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes (if mushrooms stick to the pan, add a tablespoon of water). Add mushrooms to the stew, and stir briefly. Just before serving, remove the thyme sprigs, and stir in chives.
