  • 4 1/2 lbs stewing veal  cut into 1" cubes
    1/2 cp all-purpose flour
    2 cloves garlic crushed
    2 lg onions  sliced
    1/2 cp olive oil
    2 cps dry white wine
    1 35 oz can Italian plum tomatoes

    2 green bell peppers  chopped
    3/4 tsp dried thyme
    3/4 tsp dried tarragon

    12 ozs mushrooms sliced
    1 tbs brown sugar
    1/2 cp water if needed
    1/2 cp chopped fresh Italian parsley

     

  • DIRECTIONS:

     

    Coat the veal with the flour. In a large skillet, sauté the garlic and onions in a little of the oil until soft.

     

    Add 3 or 4 more tbs of oil to the skillet and brown the veal. You will need to cook the veal in several batches; use extra oil if needed.
     

    When the veal pieces are browned, remove them to a large casserole, deglaze the pan with the wine.
     

    Chop the tomatoes and bell peppers, and add to the casserole. Add the tomatoes and bell peppers to the casserole with the tomato juice.

     

    Add the thyme, tarragon, bay leaf, pepper, and salt. Cover and bake for 1 hour.
     

    Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees and cook an additional 30 minutes. Stir. Add the mushrooms to the casserole, stir in the brown sugar, and add the water, if needed, for juiciness.

     

    Continue baking for approximately 30 minutes longer.
    Remove the bay leaf. Sprinkle with the parsley. Serve over rice or noodles.
