Cooking Instructions
Ingredients:
- Fresh Ground Veal
- Olive oil or butter
- Onion
- Garlic
- Salt and black pepper
- Fresh herbs
- Tomato sauce or diced tomatoes (optional)
1. Heat the skillet:
Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil or a knob of butter. Allow the oil or butter to heat until shimmering or melted.
2. Sauté the aromatics:
Add finely chopped onions to the skillet and cook until they turn translucent and begin to soften, stirring occasionally. Then, add minced garlic and cook for another minute or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
3. Brown the ground veal:
Add the fresh ground veal to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula to ensure even cooking. Cook the veal, stirring frequently, until it's fully browned and no longer pink, usually around 5-7 minutes.
4. Season the veal:
Season the browned ground veal with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preference.
5. Add herbs (optional):
If using fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or basil, add them to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Fresh herbs can add a burst of flavor and freshness to the dish.
6. Incorporate sauce (optional):
If you're making a saucy dish, like a Bolognese or meat sauce, add tomato sauce or diced tomatoes to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Serve and enjoy:
Once the ground veal is fully cooked and seasoned to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the delicious ground veal mixture hot over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread, garnishing with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your flavorful creation!
