Method :
Put the veal and onion in a casserole dish (Dutch oven). Tie the parsley,
peppercorns and lemon rind in a piece of muslin (cheesecloth) and add it
to the casserole with the salt and boiling water. Cover and cook in a
preheated oven at 160°C/325°F/gas mark 3 for 2 hours. Stretch the bacon
rashers with a knife, then roll them up and spear on metal skewers and
roast for the last 15 minutes cooking time.
Melt the butter or margarine, stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in the milk and 150 ml/0.25 pt of the liquor from the casserole and
bring to the boil, stirring, until the sauce thickens. Transfer the meat
to a warm serving dish, pour the sauce over and arrange the bacon rolls
and lemon wedges around the edge. |
