Veal Stew with Dill
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless veal shoulder, cut into roughly 1 1/2-inch chunks
- 4 shallots, peeled
- 8 to 12 very small new potatoes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 carrots, cut into roughly pea-sized bits (optional)
- 1 cup shelled fresh or frozen peas
- 8 scallions, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup snipped fresh dill for garnish, or more to taste
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Put the veal in a broad skillet over high heat; sear, undisturbed, for about 4 minutes, or until the underside is nicely browned (dont worry if not all of the pieces brown).
- Stir, then add the shallots and potatoes.
- Cook for another couple of minutes, then add salt, pepper, and 1 1/2 cups of water.
- Stir, scraping the bottom if necessary to loosen any bits of meat that may have stuck.
- Turn the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring once or twice during that period.
- Uncover and add the carrots if youre using them; stir once, recover, and simmer for about 15 minutes more, or until the veal and potatoes are tender.
- Uncover and add the peas and scallions if you like.
- Raise the heat if necessary to boil away excess liquid.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve, garnished with the dill and accompanied by a lemon wedge.
