Ingredients

  • 800 g veal roast (from the shank)
  • 3 tbsp clarified butter
  • 250 g leeks
  • Salt
  • black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 400 ml veal stock
  • 250 g celery stalks
  • 150 ml Heavy Cream
  • 350 g green ribbon pasta

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Remove fat and sinews from the meat and cut into bite‑size cubes. Gradually brown the meat in a sauté pan with hot clarified butter, turning until all sides are crisp.

  2. 2.

    Take the meat out of the pan. Wash and trim the leeks; slice the white and light green parts into rings. Sauté them in the remaining fat for 1–2 minutes.

  3. 3.

    Return the meat to the pan, season with salt, pepper, and mustard, then dust with flour. Cook for 2–3 minutes before adding 100 ml of stock. Cover and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (second rack) for about 1 ¼ hours, gradually adding the remaining stock as needed.

  4. 4.

    Trim the celery and cut into 1 cm thick pieces. Blanch in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, shock in cold water, then add to the ragout five minutes before the end of cooking time.

  5. 5.

    Meanwhile cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente.

  6. 6.

    Finally stir the heavy cream into the ragout, bring to a boil again, and season with salt and pepper.

  7. 7.

    Drain the ribbon pasta, let it dry slightly, and serve with the veal ragout.
