Comment préparer

1
Place the veal in a large pot and cover with the cold water. Bring it slowly to a bare simmer over medium heat, skimming the gray foam that rises during the first 8 minutes.
2
Add the leek, carrots, onion, bay leaf, thyme, and 7 g of the salt. Maintain a very gentle simmer, partially covered, for 75 to 90 minutes, until the veal is fork-tender but still holds its shape.

3
Transfer the veal to a warm bowl and strain the cooking liquid through a fine sieve into a jug. Discard the spent aromatics and keep 750 ml of the clear broth hot.
4
Melt 35 g of the butter in a clean heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and pale but not browned.
5
Gradually whisk the hot broth into the roux until smooth. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 8 minutes, whisking often, until it lightly coats a spoon.
6
Melt the remaining butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the reserved carrots and leek pieces and sauté for 4 minutes, until glossy and just tender.
7
Return the veal and sautéed vegetables to the sauce. Stir in the cream and simmer gently for 8 minutes, without boiling, until everything is hot and the sauce is silky.
8
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, remaining salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning; the sauce should be creamy, lightly tangy, and pale.
9
Rest the blanquette for 5 minutes off the heat, then spoon it into warm bowls. Scatter with parsley and serve immediately with rice, noodles, or potatoes.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

Gentle poaching keeps the veal tender and preserves the stew’s characteristic pale color, while a roux-thickened stock, cream, and lemon create a sauce that is rich without becoming heavy.
