An Easy Veal Stew…

This easy veal stew is made with chunks of lean veal, white wine, onions, carrots, and peas. And it is Delish! Stews are always so comforting and satisfying, and ideal for weekend dinner. For more stew recipes, try Spring Veal Stew with Baby Peas, Prosciutto, and Wine and Beef Stew in Half the Time with Rice.

Why do we love this Veal Stew…

  • It’s a very light stew.
  • Cooked in ONE-pot!
  • It melts in your mouth because the veal chunks are simmered in wine. 
  • All the flavors are infused with carrots and peas, making this so amazingly tasty. 
  • It is an all-in-one meal! 
  • Mom prepares this dish in 40 minutes and even less using only a few ingredients.
  • Like most stews, they get better the longer they sit, so we always make enough for two nights to enjoy it the second time, and later in the week.

What Kind of Veal Should We Buy?

  • One thing she does recommend when shopping for veal is to buy the veal from your local butcher rather than at the supermarket.  
  • You pay a little more for the chunks of veal, but you’re getting a higher quality of veal which comes from the leg of the animal (which is more tender) rather than the neck or shoulder which is what most supermarket sells. 
  • Plus, the less expensive veal is much fattier, and you must cook it much longer to get it as moist and tender.

    1. That's funny… I did as well, but then we moved to the South, somehow my pressure cooker never appeared again, so I manage to make my stews without it. Its been fine cooking on stove-top ever since! Thanks again!!
