Polenta, Veal stew with carrots
I know I promised the blanquette de veau recipe accompanied by mixed roast vegetables but first I must divulge this wonderful polenta invention.
method:
- cook some polenta
- mix it (use a fork) with some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil and spices (cumin, chilli, coriander, cinnamon, etc. etc. - whatever takes your fancy)
- place in an overproof dish and grill in a hot oven until cooked through and lightly browned on top
Blanquette de Veau method:
- fry some chopped onions in a little oil
- add bite sized chunks of veal and brown
- add chopped carrots, garlic and a little flour
- add white wine (or dry cider) and stock to cover, salt, pepper
- place in a casserole dish and cook in a cool oven (160 degrees) for a couple of hours until the meat is tender and the sauce thick.
- Serve with slices of grilled polenta (see above)

Well this is turning into a real Mushroom Month.
We went for a lovely dinner with our friends Alan Cook (ex-manager of the famous GothRock band "Sauerkraut" as featured elsewhere on this website, click here for more details if you are really interested) and Elisabeth Guinness.
Elisabeth runs the Guinness Gallery in Dublin and she is an excellent cook.
The spicy pork stew was fantastic but it was the starter of raw mushrooms and prawns which inspired me for this recipe. I have only slightly modified Elisabeth's original recipe by adding some spinach leaves and a slightly sweeter dressing to counteract their bitterness.
- thinly slice some mushrooms
- place on a bed of baby spinach leaves
- add some peeled prawns
- make a dressing with honey, lime juice, olive oil, oregano, salt and mild red paprika powder
- drizzle dressing on the salad
