Pot Roast Shoulder of Veal
Background
Attitudes towards eating veal vary considerably from country to country. In the UK, the least inhumane is considered to be "rose veal" which is from young (around 9 months) male calves born into dairy herds where they're not much use for milk production! ThisΒ Pot Roast Shoulder of Veal recipe uses that type of veal, but is also suitable for the younger versions preferred particularly in France, Holland & Italy. Whichever veal you choose it's a delicious and interesting alternative to your normal Sunday roast beef!
Ingredients
- Bouquet garni: bunch fresh parsley
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- Vegetable base: 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp rape seed oil
- 1 large red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 400g carrots
- 2 sticks celery
- Freshly ground salt & pepper
- The meat: 100g bacon lardons
- 1 kg shoulder of veal
- The jus: 150 ml white wine
- 200 ml vegetable stock
- Nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180Β°C. Create the bouquet garni by tying together the parsley, thyme & bay leaves with string.
- Peel and chop the onion quite finely. Wash the celery and carrots - cut into thinnish sticks.
- Heat the oils in a casserole dish over a medium heat, add the vegetables and a little seasoning. Turn down the heat, cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile prepare the meat by removing any rubberised "netting", then washing and drying with kitchen towel. Tie back together with a couple of pieces of string around it.
- Make space in the pan to brown the meat all over. Nestle the vegetables back around it then add the bouquet, some ground nutmeg and the wine.
- Turn up the heat and simmer for a couple of minutes before adding the stock. Cover and place in the oven for about an hour.
- Remove the veal to a serving plate and cover with foil keep warm while resting.
