You have probably seen chicken cacciatore at all the Italian-American restaurants. But Veal cacciatore is much tastier, and much more unique.
Here is a dish that is so tasty you will not be able to say a word at the dinner table, that is, unless you like to speak with your mouth full. Honestly, you will not be able to keep this out of your mouth until it is completely gone.
This meal is going to take about four hours to cook that is including all the cook time. So, four hours before your hubby gets home from work break out the white wine and start mixing ingredients.
The white wine is not for you to drink, but it is actually the first ingredient and is to be poured into a sauce pan. You will need 2/3 cup of white wine, 1/3 cup of broken dried porcini, 1 6lb boneless veal shoulder roast, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/4lb of sliced pancetta (chopped), 2 medium onions (chopped), 2 medium carrots (chopped), 2 celery ribs (chopped), 1 28oz can of whole tomatoes in juice, 1 1/2 6-inch rosemary sprigs, 2 Turkish bay leaves or 1 California, and lastly 1/3 cup of small brine-cured black olives.
Collect all these ingredients and set them on your table. If you need to slice the onions and carrots and cloves of garlic, get a nice chef's knife with a rounded blade, thus allowing you to roll into each chop rather than lift and press each time you want to cut something.
Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. While this is preheating take your wine and pour it into a sauce pan and let it begin to simmer.
Now stir in your porcini and remove from heat. Leave this alone for a little bit and turn your attention to the veal now.
Dry the veal with a clean cloth or a paper towel and lightly season it with 3/4 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper. Find a wide 6 to 8-qt heavy pot and heat 2 Tbsp oil at medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown veal, and be sure to keep it turning.
This part should take about 12 minutes. Now transfer the veal to a plate.
Get all the fat out of the heavy pot you had, and add the remaining 2 tbsp oil back in that pot. Add the pancetta and saute over medium-high heat until it is browned, and add onions and saute until soft.
This sauteed process should take about eight minutes. Drain the porcini using a fine-mesh sieve with a bowl underneath.
Chop up the porcini and add to the pancetta mixture along with carrots, celery and garlic. Saute until it is all softened, another eight minutes.
Get your tomatoes now and chop them up rather coarsely and add to the pot with their juice. Add the veal with the meat juices from the plate it has been on, along with rosemary, bay leaves, and olives.
Now cover the pot and braise for two and a half to three hours. When finished, the middle of the veal should be fork-tender.
