Did you set your eyes on a beautiful, succulent slice of meat but you don’t know how to cook it in a special way? Do you happen to have some leftover red wine? Or just feel like having something today 😉 then I got the solution for you!
This deliciously rich veal is slowly cooked in a red wine sauce which, once reduced (it takes about 2h) makes a stunning gravy to cover both the meat and everything else in the plate! Yes, today I am feeling very British ;D
The best part is that the meat falls apart after being slow-cooked in liquid for that long. It will melt in your mouth! Look at these beauties! From my favorite farmers’ market in Amsterdam, ZuiderMRKT!
I paired the meat with a nice potato mash, because why not and you do need something able to trap all that beautiful sauce! For the meat, you can use whatever you feel like, as long as it’s good when braised. For example, if the meat is too lean, it ill dry up and harden a lot which results in something all but nice to eat. About the wine, while some say it’s important to use very good quality, to me personally it doesn’t always apply. In this case in particular, it gets diluted a lot with water and with some vegetable stock. You can imagine in the end there isn’t much left of the wine! Other sides you can pair with is: potatoes in a different shape, polenta, grilled vegetables. Enjoy!
