Wherever Judy and I travel on this International Food Journey, we always seem to come back to Italy. Today’s featured recipe is no exception. Here we have a hearty Veal Stew to warm us up on these cold wintery evenings. Although this dish can be used as a starter course, we paired it with some Brown Rice and served it as our main course.
This delicious one pot wonder is brimming with flavor.
From our kitchen to yours. Enjoy the adventure.
