Servings: persons

500 grams veal
1 tablespoon flour
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
45 grams bacon (around 4 strips)
1 onion (medium), chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups beef or vegetable broth
200 grams peas (frozen)
2 teaspoons chopped parsley
4 cups cooked barley

1
Cut the fat and the gristle off the meat, add salt, pepper, and the flour. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot, add the veal, and cook until brown all over. Transfer the meat to a plate.
2
Add the bacon to the pot and cook for a few minutes, then add the chopped onions and the garlic. Cook until translucent, then add the white wine to deglaze the pot.
3
Add the tomato paste, cook for a few minutes, and then add back the veal to the pot together with the broth, peas, and chopped parsley. I often use frozen peas here (hey, no judging - I do have a job). Simmer on low until the stew is reduced to half - around 45 min to 1 hour.
4
I often serve this with mashed potatoes, but this time I was really craving barley. You can also serve it with rice.
