Stuffed Breast of Veal with Parsley and Onions
- 1/2 baguette, soaked in warm water and squeezed to remove as much water as possible, and cut into little pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 3 large onions, peeled and finely diced
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 3 pounds veal breast, without the bone, with a pocket cut into the meat
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, or enough to coat the bottom of the casserole
- 2 or 3 carrots, peeled and cut into rounds
- 1 or 2 tomatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
- Mix the soaked baguette, garlic, parsley, one of the diced onions, the eggs, and salt and freshly ground pepper to taste in a medium bowl.
- Season the outside and the pocket of the veal with salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Place the stuffing in the veal pocket.
- Using skewers or large toothpicks, close off the pocket to seal in the stuffing.
- Heat a thin film of oil in a heatproof casserole large enough to hold the veal, and slide the stuffed veal on top.
- Sear the veal on all sides until golden brown, then remove to a plate.
- Spoon the remaining onions, the carrots, tomatoes, and ginger into the casserole.
- Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and cook until the onions are translucent.
- Return the veal to the casserole, and add enough water to cover the veal halfway.
- Simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours, or until tender.
- Cool, and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, remove the fat that has accumulated, and slice the veal with its stuffing.
- Heat the veal slices in the veal juices with the vegetables for about 20 minutes, or until heated through and serve on a plate with green beans and onions (see page 315).
