Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the stew. If you don't have veal, beef is a great substitute. You can also use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for an aromatic touch. If you want to thicken the stew, mix a little cornstarch with water and stir it in towards the end of cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the veal stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with crusty bread for dipping or a side salad for freshness. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside Oven-Roasted Chicken And Potatoes or a light Tarragon Chicken Salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover veal stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally. If it seems too thick, add a splash of water or broth to reach your desired consistency. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other vegetables in this stew?
Absolutely! Feel free to add any vegetables you have on hand, such as green beans, peas, or bell peppers. Just ensure they are chopped into similar sizes for even cooking. Frozen vegetables work well, too, and will save you prep time.
How can I make this stew spicier?
If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the stew. You can also use spicier varieties of paprika, such as smoked paprika, for an additional flavor boost without overwhelming the dish.
What should I do if the stew is too salty?
If your stew turns out too salty, you can balance it by adding a diced potato while it simmers. The potato will absorb some of the saltiness. Alternatively, adding a little extra water or broth can help dilute the flavor.
