Veal Scallopini

While we were shopping the other day, we came across a few tasty looking Veal chops, so we picked them up and discussed what to do with them. Scallopini was the verdict. I removed the bone and pounded the chop down to a thickness of about 1/4 inch thick, breaded and seared in Olive Oil. When they were barely done, I took them out of the pan and added a mountain of mushrooms, some white wine, broth and seasonings to the pan. Back into the sauce go the meat medallions to absorb the flavors. Served with Glazed Baby Carrots and Mashers.

Fraggle Rock Chicken

Finally!! Chicken Divan or as we know it "Fraggle Rock Chicken", as Syd called it as a tot has made it to out blog. It's a family favorite made with chicken breasts, broccoli and a sauce made of Celery Soup, White Wine, Worchester Sauce and seasonings. First spread the broccoli in the bottom of a baking pan, then the Chicken Breasts and sauce, top it all off with the Parmesan and into the oven for about 45 minutes. Oh, it's so good!!

Hearty Beef Stew

A cold and wet day always needs some comfort foods, that being said, it was suggested that I make Beef Stew. I ran my errands and on the way home stopped by the market for a shoulder roast, a few parsnips and turnips. After retuning home I trimmed and cut the roast into cubes, seasoned and dusted in flour and then seared the juices in. Once browned, I removed them from the pan, tossed in an onion, carrot, celery and the root veggies, then finally some mushrooms. Back to the pot goes the meat, a nice dark ale, beef broth and seasonings. Let them cook for about an hour. Once the meat is tender I served it over a mound of mashed potatoes. It was even better the next day for lunch!
