Suggested Recipes
-
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
1 lb (500 g) grain-fed Ontario veal stewing cubes
1 cup (250 mL) diced carrot (about 2 medium)
1 cup (250 mL) diced celery (about 2 medium ribs)
1 cup (250 mL) diced onion (about 1 medium)
2 cups (500 mL) stemmed and quartered button mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp (5 mL) finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tbsp (30 mL) tomato paste
2 cups (500 mL) red wine
2 cups (500 mL) chicken stock
2 bay leaves
3 sheets fresh lasagna noodles
1/4 cup (50 mL) shaved parmesan cheese
Preparation:
In large Dutch oven or saucepan, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add veal
cubes and cook, browning on all sides for approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer veal to plate. Add carrot, celery, onion and mushrooms to same pan and cook, stirring, until onions are tender, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, rosemary and tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Return veal and any juices to pan and add the wine, stock and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, cover with a tight-fitting lid and bake in preheated-oven for about 1-1/2 hours, or until meat is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork. Remove bay leaves and using two forks, pull apart (or shred) veal cubes in the sauce.
Meanwhile, cut each lasagna noodle into 4 squares. Cook noodles in boiling salted water until al dente, approximately 4 minutes. Drain well.
To assemble: Lay one sheet of pasta on plate and spoon 1/2 cup (125 mL) veal ragout on top. Follow with two additional layers of pasta and ragout. Top with shaved Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Additional Information
- Chef's Tip: Ragout can also be served with wide noodles such as Pappardelle or Fettuccine.
