Braised Veal with Aromatic Vegetables

1.3

(1)

This hearty stew is great served over egg noodles. Bitter greens with a creamy Gorgonzola dressing would be a good side salad. Have sliced bananas and strawberries drizzled with honey and balsamic vinegar for an elegant dessert.

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless veal shoulder, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced; 2 tablespoons chopped fronds reserved
8 ounces baby carrots
1 medium onion, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced
2 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon Italian-style seasoned canned chicken broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Preparation

  1. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add veal; sauté until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add sliced fennel bulb, carrots, and onion; sauté 5 minutes. Add 2 1/4 cups broth; bring to simmer. Cover pot; reduce heat to medium-low.

Our Favorite French Onion Soup
Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.
Gigante Beans With Seaweed Salmoriglio
Salmoriglio is a Mediterranean sauce with herbs, garlic, and olive oil. In this version, kelp is used as the base of the sauce.
Beef Stroganoff Ramen
This traditional dish of beef, sour cream, and mustard may have originated in Russia, but it’s about time for a version with ramen noodles, don’t you think?
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
