Warm up on winter nights with our hearty veal stew. Enjoy it as a starter, or pair it with crusty Italian bread and a salad. After browning the veal, cook the carrots, celery, and zucchini until tender. Return the veal to the pot, and add crushed tomatoes, white wine, Italian seasoning, and some chicken broth to provide lots of flavor and texture to the final dish. Let the stew simmer for about an hour so the ingredients can meld and get to know each other—it's great how hands-off this recipe is. We also love the convenience of using thawed whole pearl onions as the finishing touch.
