Veal Stew With Green Olives And Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Toss chuck roast pieces with flour, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
• Heat olive oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Toss 1/2 of the coated beef pieces in the hot oil and brown on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pot and repeat with the remaining beef.
• Return all the browned beef back to the pot and reduce heat to medium. Be sure to scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pot or they will burn. Add diced tomatoes with juice, crushed tomatoes, onions, carrots, bell peppers, garlic, sweet and smoked paprika, oregano, and bay leaves. Stir to combine all ingredients, and bring to a boil.
• Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Stir in frozen green peas and olives. Cover and simmer for 15 more minutes.
• Remove bay leaves and serve warm.

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:

• Place beef in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix in flour to dredge the beef.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cardamom, bay leaf, and beef. Increase heat to medium and cook until meat turns from red to pinkish-brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add tomatoes to the pot; stir and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add beef stock and cook until beef is no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Heat sunflower oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Lower potatoes carefully into the hot oil and fry until tender on the inside, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Add potatoes to the beef-tomato mixture and cook for 2 more minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal generously with salt and pepper. Add veal and onions to pot. Sauté until veal is no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Mix in potatoes and oregano, then tomatoes. Bring stew to simmer. Cover pot; transfer to oven. Bake until veal and vegetables are tender, about 2 hours. Season stew to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle stew into shallow soup bowls and serve.

Steps:

• 1 In a large pot, cook the onions in the oil over medium heat, stirring frequently, until tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Add the veal pieces to the pot. Cook until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. 2 Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the rosemary and garlic. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the wine and simmer until most of the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. 3 Add the potatoes to the pot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Add 2 cups water and bring the mixture to a simmer. 4 Lower the heat. Cover the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 hour or until the veal is tender when pierced with a fork. 5 Add the green beans to the pot and simmer 10 minutes more or until all of the meat and vegetables are tender. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
