Meat Sauce for Polenta
|
With this sauce, you may serve polenta "soft," out of the pot, or over
cooled slices that are reheated. There is also nothing wrong with serving
it over polenta fritta.
2 pounds, boneless veal shoulder, cut into 1" cubes
1/2 cup, all purpose flour
1/2 cup, dry red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir is best)
1/4 cup, olive oil
1 teaspoon, salt
1 tablespoon, freshly ground black pepper
2 medium garlic cloves, crushed
2 large yellow onions, peeled and quartered
1 small can (about 8 ounces) tomato paste
1 tablespoon, dried rosemary
2 cups, Marian Crinella's veal stock
|
In a large casserole or Dutch oven, over medium heat, warm the oil.
Dredge veal cubes in flour, add a few cubes at a time to the casserole and
brown on all sides.
Set the cubes aside after veal is thoroughly browned,
add a bit more oil, scrape up browned bits in pan.
Add onions and brown
thoroughly over medium heat.
Add wine, stirring onions for a couple of
minutes until a bit of the wine evaporates, then add veal, veal juices,
tomato paste, rosemary, pepper, salt, garlic and veal stock.
Cover and
simmer for 2 hours, until meat is very tender (almost falling apart).
Ladle stew over polenta as it is served.
Serves about 6.
(Note: The most delicious of all polenta toppings is wild doves.
We sometimes substituted robins for doves, using the same recipe.)
Enjoy with our
2006 Pinot Noir.
