Veal Ragout With Shiitake Mushroom Recipes

Steps:

• Place mushrooms in a bowl, cover with warm water and allow to soak 30 to 40 minutes, until softened.
• Heat oil in a heavy casserole. Add veal and brown lightly on all sides. Remove veal from the pan.
• Add fennel, onion and carrots to the casserole and saute over medium heat until tender. Stir in the garlic and cook a few seconds. Stir in the tomatoes and wine. Bring to a simmer and season with sage, salt and pepper. Return the veal to the casserole.
• Drain mushrooms, reserving the liquid. Cut off any tough stems. Add mushrooms and reserve liquid to the casserole. Cover and simmer over low heat until the veal is tender, about one-and-a-half hours. Taste for seasonings. Stir in enough of the tomato paste to lightly thicken the sauce. Continue cooking, uncovered, 15 minutes longer, then check seasonings again.
• Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Brown piece of veal in butter.
• Add water, salt, whole vegetables, herbs and seasonings and braise until the veal is tender- about 45 minutes.
• Add the meatballs to the broth and simmer for ten minutes after the temperature returns to the simmer point.
• Remove solids with a slotted spoon.
• Discard vegetables, herbs, and seasonings.
• Slice the veal into small bite size pieces.
• Make sauce- melt butter, add flour and stir constantly for a few minutes.
• Gradually add broth.
• Add meatballs and veal pieces back to the sauce.
• Add lemon, stir.
• Add cream, stir.
• Serve over rice, pasta or mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Pour beef broth into a saucepan and add bouillon cube. Bring to a rapid boil over high heat for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for at least 30 minutes. Set aside 3 tablespoons for ragout; store remaining broth in the refrigerator for another use.
• Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add 1/2 teaspoon oil. Add portobello mushrooms and sear, 3 to 5 minutes. Set portabellos aside.
• Sear shiitake mushrooms over medium-high heat in the same pan without adding more oil, 3 to 5 minutes. Set shiitakes aside.
• Reheat the same pan over medium-high heat and add remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Add garlic and cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and wine; cook for 2 minutes. Add reserved beef broth and cook for 3 minutes.
• Stir portabello and shiitake mushrooms into the pan and cook, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in butter gently until ragout is coated. Top with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, in hot oil, cook half of the veal until browned, stirring often.
• Remove; set aside.
• Repeat with remaining veal.
• Pour off fat.
• In same Dutch oven, combine soup, water, wine, lemon juice, rosemary, pepper and garlic powder; add carrots.
• Heat to boiling.
• Return veal to Dutch oven.
• Reduce heat to low.
• Cover; cook 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Uncover; add mushrooms.
