Ingredients
- potatoes
- 600 g veal leg
- pasta
- 400 g peeled onion
- rice
- 250 g mushrooms
- bread dumplings
- 100 g butter
- 20 g all-purpose flour
- 1 l chicken broth
- 200 ml dry white wine
- 250 ml cream, min. 31%
- 3 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 3 sage leaves
- 3 sprigs of thyme
- 2 shorter sprigs of rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- pinch of pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- 1Clean the mushrooms, cut off the stems, roughly chop them and place them in a bowl. Cut the caps into eighths and place them in a second bowl. Peel and roughly chop the onion. Tightly tie the herbs with kitchen twine.
- 2Cut the meat into 4 cm cubes and place in a bowl. Add salt, pepper, and oil and mix. Heat a pan over high heat and sear the meat on all sides until golden brown. Pour in the wine and, stirring occasionally, reduce it to ⅓ of its volume. Set aside.
- 3In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 80 g of butter, add the onion and let it caramelize, stirring frequently. Add the chopped mushroom stems and tied herbs and mix. Add the flour and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- 4Pour in the broth, mix, and bring to a boil. Add the seared meat and all the contents of the pan, mix, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to one-third and simmer over low heat until tender, about 50 minutes.
- 5Remove the tender meat from the saucepan and set aside. Strain the sauce into a clean pot, add the cream, mix, and blend with an immersion blender. Bring to a boil, return the meat, and cook for another 3 minutes.
- 6In a pan, melt the remaining butter and sauté the chopped mushroom caps. Then add them to the sauce and mix.
- 7Serve with steamed rice, wide noodles, or ham dumplings.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
