Spring Veal Stew with Baby Peas
Spring Veal Stew with Baby Peas, Prosciutto, and Wine. Tender chunks of veal are simmered with white wine, vegetable stock, fresh parsley, prosciutto, and baby peas for 30 minutes to make an easy and outstanding meal for dinner.
This has to be one of our favorite veal stews from our Mom. It’s very light and SO delicious! And, we love having one of her favorite sides, like her easy garlic mashed potatoes to help absorb all the juices and flavors with this stew. Yum!
This is a classic Italian veal stew that doesn’t require hours and hours to make. You can easily make this one on stove-top and simmer it in white wine and vegetable broth which helps tenderize the veal.
Baby peas and prosciutto are the secret ingredients to giving this veal stew a ton of flavor.
The veal turns out so moist and tender, it practically melts in your mouth, and therefore, there’s no need to use a knife at the table either.
A hearty veal stew like this one can easily become a cook’s favorite. Simply because it makes enough to feed the family and it’s considered to be a one-pot wonder or a one-dish meal.
Veal Stew is a delicious meal alone and can be served with some crusty Italian bread, or maybe a leafy green salad.
Sometimes I like to serve it with a side of steamed rice, or mashed potatoes or even polenta to go with it.
My family loves any one of those sides to soak up some of the juicy flavors and gravy the stew makes. Don’t worry, if you prefer to skip serving a starchy side with this veal stew, it still makes a satisfying one-dish meal.
And, of course – if you like fine wine as much as we do, then don’t forget to pour a glass of red wine to give the final touch to a perfect meal!
Enjoy!
