VEAL STEW

Ingredients:

2 lbs. of veal meat

1 carrot, diced

1 onion (peeled)  and one sprig of fresh rosemary wrapped in cheesecloth and well tied

1 can of tomato paste (with basil)*

1/2 cup of wine**

1 lb. of exotic mushrooms (fresh)

bay leaf

32 ounces of chicken stock

Everything goes into the slowcooker.  Veal doesn't have a lot of flavor so you need to add flavor to it.  If you have demi glace, add some.  Remove bay leaf and cheesecloth ball before serving.   You can choose to garnish with fresh parsley but for a weeknight dinner, why bother...just set out the cheese for grating and enjoy!

*Note about tomato paste:  buy Cento...it's the best

**Do not use cooking wine.  Even little bottles of wine are sold now everywhere so if you have no wine bottle open, buy real wine.
