Although this filling stew simmers for an hour, it only takes 15 minutes of hands-on time to get it ready to go, then just let the stove do the rest of the work. The warm, comforting dinner will be worth the wait. This stew also freezes well, so portion it into small batches or even individual servings for a quick meal that just needs reheating. To enhance the delicate taste of veal, tie 1 bay leaf, a fresh rosemary sprig, 3 or 4 leaves fresh sage and a strip of lemon peel in a muslin packet and simmer with the stew. Remove it before serving.
