Cooking
Instructions
- In a large braising pot, combine the veal with the stock and the Bouquet Garni. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the veal is tender, about 1 ¼ hour, skimming the top of broth from time to time.
- Once tender, remove the veal from broth, add pearl onions and simmer liquid for 10 minutes. Add heavy cream to the cooking broth and simmer for a few minutes. Do not boil.
- In a separate pan, sauté mushrooms in olive oil, add lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter with flour until smooth. Using a whisk, add it to the broth with heavy cream, simmer a few minutes, add veal, mushrooms, capers and simmer until slightly thickened.* Add salt and pepper, and Dijon mustard. Keep warm.
- Serve with wide egg noodles or white rice. Garnish with parsley before serving. *USDA recommends cooking veal to an internal temperature of 145°F.
