Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For veal
2 cups boiling water
1 ounce dried porcini
1 (4 1/2- to 5-pounds) boneless veal shoulder roast, rolled and tied by butcher
2 large garlic cloves, cut lengthwise into 20 thin slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon potato starch dissolved in 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water
For gremolata
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
2 teaspoons minced garlic
Accompaniment: porcini matzo polenta wedges

Steps:

  • Pour boiling water over porcini in a bowl and let stand until softened, 10 to 20 minutes. Lift out porcini, squeezing excess liquid back into bowl, and rinse to remove any grit. Pour soaking liquid through a sieve lined with a dampened paper towel into another bowl. Chop porcini and reserve for polenta.
  • Pat veal dry and cut 20 (1 1/2-inch-deep) slits all over with a thin-bladed knife. Stuff each slit with a slice of garlic, then season veal with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown veal on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add wine and deglaze pot by boiling over high heat (keep veal in pot), stirring and scraping up brown bits, until wine is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in porcini-soaking liquid and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently, covered, turning veal every 30 minutes, until meat is tender, about 2 hours. Transfer veal to a cutting board and cool completely.
  • Skim any fat and froth from surface of pan juices, then boil until reduced to about 2 cups. Pour through a very fine sieve into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir dissolved potato starch, then whisk into pan juices. Simmer sauce until slightly thickened.
  • Make gremolata:
  • Stir together gremolata ingredients.
  • Stir half of gremolata into sauce and season with salt and pepper. Chill remaining gremolata, covered.
  • Heat and serve veal:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Remove strings from veal and cut meat across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Overlap slices in a 13- by 9-inch ceramic or glass baking dish and pour sauce over meat. Cover dish with foil and heat in middle of oven 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with remaining gremolata.

This recipe was a disappointment. The veal was tough and the sauce was bland. I wouldn't recommend it.

The veal was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the veal for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra herbs and spices to give it more flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my veal turned out tough and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I would have liked the recipe to include more detailed instructions on how to braise the veal. I'm a novice cook and I found this step to be a bit challenging.

The gremolata was a bit too lemony for my taste, but that's easily adjusted. Overall, a great recipe that I will definitely make again.

This braised veal recipe was an absolute delight! The meat was fall-apart tender and the gremolata added a bright and herbaceous flavor that perfectly complemented the richness of the veal.
