Recipe for Veal Blanquette with Tonka Bean

AuthorCategoryDifficultyBeginner

The blanquette is a dish that I make regularly and that is greatly appreciated at home, whether it's made with veal, turkey... or salmon! I wanted to create a simple recipe with a sauce seasoned in a different way. To do this, tonka bean works wonders!

 40 organic flour
 40 butter
 15 thick organic sour cream
 1 organic egg yolk
 5 organic yellow lemon
 1 tonka bean

Directions
1

Peel the carrots and cut them into slants. Peel the shallots.

2

Cut the meat into cubes. Place them in a pot. Cover with cold water and add a tablespoon of coarse salt. Bring to a boil. Skim off any foam carefully. Add the carrots, shallots, herbs, and pepper. Simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

3

Drain the meat and vegetables. Reserve the cooking broth. In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook for three minutes, stirring. Gradually whisk in 500 ml of the broth and thicken for 8 minutes while mixing until you get a creamy sauce.
