Your Dreams Coming True In The Kitchen

A homely everyday healthy meal would be vegetables. In this case we had cauliflower which we felt like eating in a different way than the usual plain steamed with olive oil and lemon. So I decided to cook it in a tomato sauce and dry powdered coriander giving the cauliflower a very tasty twist. Fresh coriander was add on top just before serving giving the whole dish a wonderful aroma. It was delicious. It was served on cardamom rice. I apologize for the above picture. I always forget to take a photo once the dish is ready.

Blanquette means that the meat and the butter are not sauted. The meat is just boiled and the butter is used for a roux. So Blanquette de Veau is nothing but boiled boneless chunks of bonesless veal (best taken from the shoulder),and  vegetables. The juice produced is used to make the white sauce served with the meat and vegetables. A white roux is made to thicken the egg / lemon sauce which is then added to the rest of the meat juice.
