Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

10 ounces pearl onions
4 1/2 pounds veal shoulder, boned, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
9 cups (or more) chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
3 fresh thyme sprigs
2 bay leaves
5 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 pounds celery root (celeriac), peeled, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
4 large carrots, peeled, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
3 medium turnips, peeled, each cut into 6 pieces
8 ounces button mushrooms
6 ounces haricots verts or other green beans, ends trimmed
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 tablespoon (about) fresh lemon juice
1/2 bunch fresh chives, cut into 2-inch pieces (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add pearl onions and cook 1 minute. Using slotted spoon, remove onions from pot. Trim ends and peel. Add veal to pot and cook 4 minutes. Drain veal; rinse with cold water. Rinse pot and return veal to pot. Add 8 cups chicken stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Add thyme and bay leaves and simmer until veal is tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in another heavy large pot over medium heat. Add pearl onions, celery root, carrots, turnips, mushrooms and 1 cup chicken stock. Cover and cook until vegetables are tender and almost all liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Add haricots verts and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Drain veal, reserving 2 cups liquid (if less than 2 cups cooking liquid remains, add enough stock to measure 2 cups). Mix veal into vegetables.
  • Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Mix in 3 tablespoons flour. Cook until butter mixture turns golden brown, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Whisk in 2 cups reserved cooking liquid. Cook until thickened, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Stir in whipping cream. Season sauce to taste with fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  • Pour cream sauce over cooked veal and vegetables. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired, and serve immediately.

I made this dish for a dinner party and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. The veal was so tender and the sauce was so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was bland and the veal was tough. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I would make it again, but I would use less butter and cream.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but the veal was cooked perfectly. I would make this again, but I would thin out the sauce a bit.

This blanquette de veau was a hit with my family! The sauce was rich and creamy, and the veal was fall-apart tender. I will definitely be making this again.
