The combination of veal with squash, potatoes, and mushrooms sounds delicious. Here is the recipe for a veal stew that combines these tasty ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 600 g of veal for stew
  • 300 g of squash
  • 300 g of potatoes
  • 250 g of mushrooms (porcini or champignons)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 glass of white wine
  • Meat or vegetable broth as needed
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Preparation

  1. Cut the veal into cubes and brown them in a pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil until they are well browned on all sides. Then, remove the meat from the pan and set it aside.

  2. In the same pan, add the chopped onion and garlic cloves. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

  3. Add the diced squash and potatoes, a pinch of salt, pepper, the bay leaf, and chopped rosemary. Sauté for a few minutes.

  4. Put the meat back in the pan with the vegetables, then deglaze with the glass of white wine. Let the alcohol evaporate.

  5. Cover everything with the broth until it just covers the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, checking occasionally and adding broth if necessary.

  6. In the meantime, clean the mushrooms and cut them into pieces. In a separate pan, sauté the mushrooms with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt until they are golden brown.

  7. Add the mushrooms to the stew in the last 15 minutes of cooking to allow them to flavor with the rest of the ingredients.

  8. Check the cooking of the meat and vegetables, adjust the salt and pepper if necessary.

  9. Once ready, let it rest a few minutes before serving the stew nice and hot.
