Ingredients

  • For the Veal and Mushroom Stew
  • 1 pound veal shoulder, cut into chunks

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 large carrot, chopped

  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced

  • 1/2 cup white wine

  • 4 cups beef broth

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

  • 2 bay leaves

  • to taste, salt and ground black pepper

  • for garnish, freshly chopped parsley

  • for garnish, grated Parmesan cheese

  • For the Mashed Rutabaga
  • 2 large rutabagas, peeled and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

  • to taste, salt and ground black pepper

Directions

  • Brown the Veal:
    Heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot or Dutch oven. Season the veal with salt and ground black pepper. Add the veal pieces and brown on all sides, 5-6 minutes. Remove the browned veal and set it aside.
  • Cook the Aromatics and Mushrooms:
    In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, and carrot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
  • Simmer the Stew:
    Pour in the white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

    Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaves. Add the browned veal back to the pot, followed by the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 90 minutes, or until the veal is tender.
  • Cook the Rutabaga:
    While the stew simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rutabaga and cook for 30 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Mash the Rutabaga:
    Drain the rutabaga and return it to the pot. Add the butter and cream and mash until smooth. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  • Serve:
    Spoon a generous portion of mashed rutabaga onto each plate. Ladle the veal and mushroom stew over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
