FAQ about Veal blanquette | 1000 g

What cuts of meat do you use for your blanquette?

We generally combine three complementary cuts: the shoulder for chewiness, the neck for tenderness, and the fattier, collagen-rich flank, which will give body and naturally thicken your sauce during cooking.

Should the meat be browned before poaching?

For a traditional blanquette, the meat should not brown. You need to blanch it: submerge the veal cubes in cold water, bring to a boil for a few minutes to skim off impurities, then rinse them before starting to cook them in your broth.

What is the ideal cooking time for tender meat?

Allow a minimum of 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours of simmering. The secret lies in a gentle and constant temperature; too strong a boil could toughen the veal fibers instead of dissolving the collagen.

How do I store this meat before cooking it?

Store it in the coldest part of your refrigerator, between 0 and 4°C, in its original packaging. Ideally, cook it within 48 hours of reception to fully enjoy its freshness and milky taste.

Can veal blanquette be prepared the day before?

It is even highly recommended. Stews gain in flavour when reheated. Let the meat cool in its broth, and only make the liaison (the mixture of cream and egg yolks) when serving the next day.

How much meat should I plan per person?

As a butcher, I recommend planning for about 250 grams of raw meat per guest. The meat will shrink slightly during cooking, and this portion ensures a generous plate, perfect for those who enjoy traditional dishes.
