RECIPE OF THE MEAT MADE OF TERNERA:
1.- Cook the meat. The longest part of the recipe. To do this, we put in a pot enough water to cover the veal. We add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil and then, we introduce the veal’s own meat. Cover and let simmer 3 hours. You can speed up this cooking time if you do it in a pressure cooker. In this case, one hour of cooking. The meat will be very tender.
2.- When it is done, we make the stir-fry that will accompany our meatloaf In a pan we put a splash of oil to heat over low heat. Add the chopped garlic cloves and let them cook for a couple of minutes. Do not take color.
3.- Add the carrot cut into cubes. Also the onion and peppers well chopped. We season and mix with a wooden spoon, while letting it cook for about 15 minutes.
4.- After this time, add the crushed tomato and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
5.- Now, we add the white wine. We raise the power of the fire and wait another minute for the alcohol to evaporate.
6.- It is the turn of adding spices: Thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and cumin. The Coriander we leave for the end. Now, we add a ladle of the broth where we have cooked the veal. It will enhance all the flavors. Let cook a few minutes
7.- Meanwhile, we desmecha the meat. It will be so tender that with two forks, we can do it easily. We are separating pieces of meat, until it is “crumbled.”
8.- Having done this, we add it to the rest of the preparation, mix and let it cook a little more. Until the broth that we had added before evaporates and there is an exchange of flavors.
9.- When our shredded meat is practically done, we add the chopped cilantro, mix a little more and it is ready to be used!
This beefless beef has a lot of personality. You can use it in countless dishes Try it!
