How to Make Barvarian Veal With Asparagus
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Season 2 lbs veal cutlets generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the veal cutlets in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Set aside.
- Add 1 large chopped onion and 2 chopped carrots to the Dutch oven. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour the lemon-broth mixture over the meat and vegetables in the Dutch oven.
- Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the veal is fork-tender.
- While the veal is baking, prepare the asparagus. Steam or sauté 1 pound asparagus until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add more broth if needed to maintain moisture during cooking.
- Once the veal is cooked, stir in the asparagus.
- Serve immediately. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
