Tips & Tricks
For a richer flavor, you can marinate the veal in apple cider vinegar and spices for a few hours before cooking.
If you prefer a thicker stew, mash a few of the cooked potatoes into the broth before serving.
Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor, but frozen peas and corn can be a convenient alternative.
