Belgium. Associated with Belgium by the book is about Belgian cookery (Cooking, Belgian); the recipe itself names no place (confidence 0.4). "Associated with" means only that the evidence named here links this recipe to that place. A recipe isn't labelled as representing an entire country because a source associates it with one, and regional origins are kept where the source gives them.

Method

  1. Take a lump of butter the size of an egg, and let it color in a saucepan.
  2. Slice some onions and fry them in another pan.
  3. When fried, add them to the butter with some sliced carrots, a few small onions, and your pieces of veal, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add a small quantity of water, and close the lid on the saucepan.
  5. When the meat is tender, you can thicken the sauce with a little flour.
  6. This is a good way to use veal that is hard, or parts that are not the best cuts.
