Veal Stew (Blanquette)

Okay, okay, I know what you’re going to say : weather is still nice, is it really necessary to go for autumn recipes?? And I answer yes!! Fall is coming!! It’s time to go back to basics: let’s cook a veal stew, a French veal blanquette! It’s the perfect traditional dish, best comfortfood ever, the veal stew is also very popular among the great French Chefs favorite recipes.

Alain Ducasse has his own gastronomic version at Restaurant Allard in Paris. But it’s no time to fly to the moon…

Let’s keep it simple, good and tasty, the perfect family dish.

This dish is for me the perfect Sunday meal, tasty, with fresh, seasonal and healthy products. You will need around 2 hours to cook it. In the end, you will get a smooth and creamy sauce and meat that will melt in your mouth. You are so going to enjoy it!

It is also one of the most famous French gastronomy meals. If you know veal blanquette, beef Burgundy style and foie gras, you know almost everything about French food!

Serve it with rice or tagliatelle and a glass of White Pinot.
