3 tbsp (45 mL) all purpose flour 
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper 
2 tbsp (30 mL) canola oil 
6 slices uncooked bacon, chopped  
2 large onions, chopped 
4 cloves garlic, minced 
1/2 cup (125 mL) 35% whipping cream

2 cups (500 mL) veal or beef broth 

 

Instructions:

In a large bowl, toss the veal with flour, salt and pepper to coat.  

In a large shallow Dutch oven, heat oil over medium high heat. Brown veal in batches and remove to a plate. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in bacon, onions and garlic; cook, stirring for about 10 minutes or until softened.    

Mushrooms: Meanwhile, in a skillet melt butter over medium high heat. Cook mushrooms, salt and pepper for about 10 minutes or until liquid evaporates. Add veal broth and bring to a simmer.   

Add browned veal and any juices to the onion mixture along with mushroom mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 1 1/2 hours or until veal is tender. 

Stir in cream and lemon juice and return to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to heat through. Serve in shallow bowls garnished with parsley, if desired.
