Ingredients

  • 80 g small rolls (2 small rolls)
  • 2 eggs (L grade)
  • 50 ml milk (1.5% fat)
  • 50 g onions (1 onion)
  • 400 g carrots (4 carrots)
  • 300 g spinach leaves
  • 1 tbsp Rapeseed Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • nutmeg
  • 600 g veal brisket (prepared for stuffing by the butcher)
  • 600 g waxy potatoes
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Cut the rolls into about 1 cm cubes. Whisk the eggs with the milk in a bowl and fold in the roll cubes.

  2. 2.

    Peel and finely dice the onion. Peel, wash, and grate half of the carrots on a box grater; cut the remaining carrots into pieces.

  3. 3.

    Remove tough stems from the spinach, rinse thoroughly, drain well, then chop.

  4. 4.

    Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Sauté half of the diced onions until translucent, add half of the grated carrots, and cook briefly.

  5. 5.

    Add the spinach and let it wilt. Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

  6. 6.

    Wash the veal brisket, pat dry with paper towels, and rub all sides with salt and pepper.

  7. 7.

    Mix the roll‑egg mixture with the sautéed vegetables and press into the meat pocket. Secure the opening with a wooden skewer or toothpicks.

  8. 8.

    Place the stuffed brisket in a roasting pan, pour 100 ml boiling water over it, and arrange the remaining onions and carrot ribbons around the roast. Season everything and bake covered at 225 °C (200 °C fan) for about 15 minutes.

  9. 9.

    Reduce the oven temperature to 180 °C (160 °C fan), uncover the meat, and braise for approximately 90 minutes, turning once and adding water if needed.

  10. 10.

    About 20 minutes before the roast finishes, wash, peel, and cube the potatoes into 2 cm pieces. Add them with the carrot pieces to a wide pot, pour in 100 ml water, add salt, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes.

  11. 11.

    Remove the brisket from the pan, wrap it in foil, and let rest for 5–7 minutes.

  12. 12.

    Bring the roasting juices to a boil with 200 ml water and blend with an immersion blender. Add the cream to create a lightly frothy sauce.

  13. 13.

    Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Drain the potatoes and carrots. Slice the brisket, serve with the sauce and vegetables on a plate. Enjoy the stuffed veal brisket with vegetables.
