Ingredients
- 10 g butter
- 800 g boneless, trimmed veal shoulder or shank, cut into 2-3 cm pieces
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 50 ml dry white wine
- 250 ml (1 cup) strong chicken stock
- 1 celery stalk, cut into small bite-size pieces
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 carrots, cut into small bite-size pieces
- 15 button mushrooms, wiped clean
- 125 g (½ cup) crème fraîche
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the veal and stir for a few minutes without browning. Sprinkle the flour over the veal and stir until well combined. Add the wine and simmer for a few seconds, then add the stock and celery. Season with salt and pepper, then cover the pan with foil or a tight fitting lid and simmer on low heat for 1 hour or until the meat is almost tender. Add the carrot and mushrooms and simmer for another 15 minutes or until the meat is very tender and the carrots are soft.
Combine the crème fraîche and egg yolk in a small bowl, then stir into the veal casserole to thicken the sauce. The sauce must not boil or it will split. Check the seasoning, then serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.
