Saucy Veal
Why I Love This Recipe
VARIATION
For a tasty variation, try lean, cubed shoulder of lamb instead of veal.
COOK'S TIPS
To develop a good flavour in stews and casseroles, cook onion first to caramelise natural sugar content, before browning meat. This also adds colour to the dish.
Wooden spoons are preferable to metal spoons for stirring stews, as they do not scratch the pan and do not get too hot to hold while in use.
Ingredients You'll Need
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
750g lean cubed shoulder veal
8 teaspoons plain flour
1 teaspoon sweet paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt
8 teaspoons 'lite' sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
