Anyone Have Any Veal Recipes?

[ChrisL]

I've never cooked Veal before and I am eager to try, anyone have any recipes they care to share?

I don't really eat veal often, but I do sometimes buy ground veal and add it to hamburger meat and ground pork and make meatballs out of it. They are really good. I just make them like I would normally make meatballs, but they just seem more tasty when you add three meats instead of just one.

You mix the veal with other meats and make it into meatballs?!

Sacrilege!!! Burn her! Burrrrrrrn herrrrrrrrrrrr!

You know what else is really good? Venison meatballs! Of course, when you make venison meatballs, you HAVE to add hamburger or pork or something for the fat content because venison has next to no fat and is very lean. You need that fat to make a juicy and tender meatball.

There is a good REASON why there are not a lot of vegetarians. Lol!

Indeed.

You are what you eat!

Yep. Meat gets its flavor from the fat.

A vegetable or a meatball!

Veal are abused baby cows which are kept in a small crate so they can't turn around or walk, so that their muscles are like mush. Do you have zero morals brah?

Veal is very tender.

Happily there are many like BillyP who object to the treatment of domesticated animals. They ensure there's a plentiful supply for the rest of us. I often will find ground veal at 75% off, allowing me to buy it at between $1-2/lb.

Ground veal makes great meatballs.

I like lamb meat balls, too. I'm making them (kefta) for dinner tonight.

Ground lamb is another of those meats I always find with special discounted prices, but unlike veal, it really requires a developed taste: It is not beef-like. It is not pork-like. I is not turkey-like. One had better be very careful serving lamb only to people who like lamb. Many, including The Slaves, will simply not eat it however much I disguise it (typically in Moussaka).

I don't know if I've ever had ground lamb, but I have had lamb chops and leg of lamb, and both are delicious. Usually they are served with mint jelly. Yum!

Ras al Hanout is a spice blend - and it can vary. It means "head of the shop", or the best spices.

I wonder if that's available at regular grocery stores, or do you have to get it at a specialty shop or online or something? I love spices and I'm always looking at them when I go shopping. I've never noticed that one before, and that's why I ask.

I can find it at my local market, but I live in a foodie area.

You can get it on Amazon, too.

I've had veal and it is amazing, but I have not eaten it in decades and never would again. Horrible the way they are raised.

Pink veal is raised humanely, and quite delicious.
