| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Put the oil, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, cinnamon, saffron, tomatoes, salt, and pepper in a covered casserole. Cook, covered, in the microwave oven for 3 minutes.
|
2. Stir in the brandy and ¼ cup of wine. Add the veal and cook until tender (about 30 minutes), basting from time-to-time with the sauce. Half-way through the cooking time, turn the roast over.
|
3. In most ovens it is best to turn it over and to reverse it, end for end, in the oven. Do not let the roast overcook. If using a thermometer, the internal temperature reading should be 150°F.
|
4. Remove the roast to a serving plate and cover it lightly with foil. Allow 15 minutes standing time before carving.
|
5. Meanwhile, strain and reserve the cooking liquid. Melt the butter in a small casserole. Blend in the flour. Stir in, gradually, the reserved liquid, broth, and the remaining wine.
|
6. Add the parsley and peas. Cook, covered, in the microwave oven until the sauce thickens and boils. Carve the roast into slices and serve with the sauce.
