Time 2h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 lbs veal
2 -3 anchovies, chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme
20 fluid ounces chicken stock or 20 fluid ounces chicken broth
salt and pepper
1 ounce butter
1 1/2 ounces plain flour
5 ounces heavy cream
1 pinch nutmeg
1 lemon, zest only
lemon slice (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Trim the veal of fat and sinews and cut it into neat cubes.
  • Put them into a saucepan with the anchovies and thyme and cover with stock.
  • Season lightly and simmer, covered for 1 hour or so until tender.
  • The veal must cook gently or it will shrink and toughen.
  • When completely tender, strain the stock into a jug and keep the veal on one side, removing the stalks of thyme.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour.
  • When it starts to froth gradually add the veal cooking liquid, stirring it in between each addition so that you have a smooth sauce.
  • Let it simmer for 10 minutes then stir in the cream.
  • Season the sauce with nutmeg and lemon zest and if necessary with salt and pepper.
  • Put the meat back in the sauce and simmer gently until heated through.
  • Serve garnished with slices of lemon.
