Stew with peas freshly frozen in May, I shelled them and froze them in a bag already portioned. Meat today constitutes, along with other protein sources, a fundamental food for our diet. The veal belongs to the category of white meats like pork, rabbit, turkey, and chicken, but also lamb and all poultry. Veal to have tender and excellent meat should be fed only milk and not exceed 4 months of age. Many are the parts used for stew, one of these is the ‘cappello del prete’, shoulder muscles also suitable for broths and boiled as well as for preparing stew of course. Another part is the boned shoulder rump, or the ‘fusello’ always coming from the shoulder muscles. The neck is also a muscular part always suitable for stews.
