I love pairing veal with different types of vegetables and wine. When it comes to adding flavors to a veal dish, the bolder I am with spices the tastier the dish can be. It is all about pushing the culinary envelope as they say.

Pairing meat with vegetables or alcohol has been a way of cooking for many years. Stews, pairing vegetables with meat is a hearty dish that is usually served with grains, pasta, or root vegetables. It is also an easy way of cooking when feeding several people.

A word about veal

Veal comes from young cattle. Usually tender, veal is a nutrient-rich meat and easy to cook. It has a milder flavor than beef and does require more seasoning in my opinion.

There are different types of veal cuts. Ground veal, cutlets, and strips are great for sautéing and stir-frying. Veal breast, blade steaks, and shoulder roasts are perfect for stews and braises. The chops are great for grilling and ground veal, as you might already know, is perfect for meatballs, meatloaf.

The recipe for Veal Roasted with Onion, Fennel, and Shiraz wine

The recipe starts with a beautiful cut of veal shoulder roast about 1 to 1.5 pounds. The seasoning is Noubess Steak Seasoning and rubbed all over the meat for a delicious taste and aromatic flavors. The meat is seared in olive oil until just browned.

For vegetables, a mixture of fresh fennel, sweet anise-flavored vegetable, and onion. Two ingredients will elevate the taste of the veal while cooking.

The fennel and the onions are pre-cooked separately first before they make their way to the roasting pan. The veal roast is nested on the veggies, and the wine is introduced — one of the perfect means to create an easy veal stew recipe in the oven.

A word about the Shiraz wine

I use Shiraz wine for its boldness and deep flavor. It permeates the veal wonderfully with its acidic and lightly sweet flavor.

This wonderful veal stew dish is perfect with pasta, rice, roasted cauliflower with cashews. The perfect dinner meal.
