Veal stew with peas

veal stew with peasA traditional Italian dish.

4 servings
Ingredients
1 ¾ lbs of veal stew 800 g
1 stalk of celery
1 carrot
1 onion
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons of flour
1 glass of dry white wine
1 cup meat broth
3 ½ cups of green peas
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Begin by chopping finely the carrot, the onion and the celery, then brown in a pan with 4 tbsp of oil.
After cutting the meat into cubes about 1 inch (2,5 cm) to a side, roll in flour and add it to the vegetable mixture. Now stir and let it brown.
Now add the white wine and let it evaporate.
At this point add the broth… salt and pepper. I’ll cook the stew for 20 minutes in the pressure cooker; if you don’t have a pressure cooker, use a normal pan and double the cooking time.
20 minutes are gone… if you find the stew too dry, you can add a ladle of hot water; now add the peas… and cook still in the pressure cooker for 5 minutes more.
Our veal stew with peas is ready to be tasted; you can even serve it in summer and eat it at room temperature.

Serve with white rice or rice pilaf

You simply heat the oil in a sauté pan and fry the veal and garlic, add the wine and let it bubble a bit.

Suggested wine A basic fruity red wine from the Rhône works best, chilled if the weather is hot. A robust rosé would also work well.
