Veal, Potato, and Pepper Stew

(Spezzatino di vitello)

Serves: 4 | Serving Size: Approximately 3/4 cup

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

This stew tastes even better the following day! You can use beef, lamb, or even goat instead of the veal, if you choose.

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

1 large yellow onion, diced

1 pound boneless veal shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound crushed or diced tomatoes

1/2 teaspoon unrefined sea salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Pinch crushed red chile flakes (preferably Calabrian; see Where to Buy Guide)

1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

1. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until light golden brown. Add veal and brown on all sides. Stir in garlic, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and chilies. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour, or until veal is almost tender.

2. Meanwhile, in a dutch oven or large, wide saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add in red and green peppers, potatoes, and parsley. Stir and sauté, uncovered, just until vegetables are tender, approximately 12–15 minutes. Stir in basil.

3. Once veal has cooked for an hour, add in pepper/potato mixture and stir. Cover and cook until all ingredients are tender and flavors have blended, approximately 15 minutes. Serve hot.

Italian Living Tradition

Most American stews are made by combining everything in one pot. Many Italians use this two-step process—sautéing the vegetables in olive oil before adding them to the stew—for additional flavor and unique texture. Leftover sautéed vegetables can be added into stews as well.
