- 3 tablespoons (27 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) crushed dried thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon (0.6 ml) crushed dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt (optional)
- freshly ground pepper
- olive oil cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) dry red wine or water
- 1/2 cup (80 g) chopped onion
- 4 scallions, white part and 1 inch (2.5 ml) green, chopped
- 1/3 cup (40 g) thinly sliced celery
- 1/3 cup (33 g) shredded carrot
- 1/3 cup (56 g) chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup (265 g) no-salt-added canned diced tomatoes
- 1 14 1/2-ounce (415 g) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon (0.6 ml)
- Tabasco sauce
- 1 large bay leaf, broken in half
- Cooked rice
Directions:
-
Pound each piece of veal to 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thickness.
-
In a shallow
dish, combine flour, thyme, rosemary, salt (if using), and pepper. Use
to dredge pounded veal pieces.
-
Lightly coat a heavy 4-quart (3.8 l) pot with cooking spray. Add olive
oil and place over medium heat.
-
Working in batches, brown the veal
pieces, turning once. Remove and set aside.
-
When all veal is browned, add the wine to the pot, stirring and
scraping the bottom to release any browned bits.
-
Add remaining
ingredients and stir in the browned veal.
-
Simmer, uncovered, for about
45 to 55 minutes, until veal is fork-tender.
-
If stew seems too dry,
add up to 1/2 cup (120 ml) additional water as needed to reach desired consistency.
-
Remove and discard bay leaves.
-
Serve hot over cooked rice. Pass the Tabasco sauce bottle to allow people to add to
taste.
