Veal Stew
- 3 green bell peppers: cored, seeded and quartered
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 pounds boned shoulder of veal trimmed of gristle and fat and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
- Unbleached flour
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 onions, finely chopped*
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped*
- One 28-ounce can peeled, imported tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 15 black olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 10 sprigs fresh thyme
- Preheat broiler and line a broiler pan with foil.
- Place peppers, skin side up on the broiler pan.
- Broil close to the heat source (4 inches, approx) until skin is blistered and charred, (6-7 minutes).
- Wrap the peppers in the existing foil and cool.
- The heat will loosen the skin.
- Peel the peppers and cut into 1 inch cubes.
- Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- In a large heavy skillet heat the oil over medium heat.
- Pat veal pieces dry and dredge lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Saute several pieces of meat at a time, over medium heat until browned.
- As the pieces brown, transfer them to a 4-quart heavy bottomed saucepan with a tight fitting cover, or Dutch oven.
- Then, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Add remaining ingredients to pan.
- Place over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Cover the pan, remove from heat and place in oven.
- Cook for 1 hour, or until meat is soft, but not falling apart.
- Adjust seasoning.
