Our first recipe is classic Italian, and is classically delicious-it has everything going for it. The veal cooks rather quickly so you’re ready to eat in about 1 1/2 hours and, if you have a good butcher who will cut up your meat, even a few seconds sooner.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless veal shoulder, fat removed and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 6 ounces baby portabella mushrooms, quartered
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 19-ounce can cannelloni bean, washed and well drained
- 1 14 1/2 -ounce salt free diced tomatoes with juice
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven. Dry the meat and then brown over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, red pepper and mushrooms. Cook stirring for 5 minutes. Add
- the herbs. Beams tomatoes and red pepper flakes.
- Bring to a simmer, cover and braise for 11/4 hours until the veal is fork tender.
- Stir in the vinegar. All to sit for about 1/2 hour if you want a thicker sauce. Reheat and serve.
