Giouvetsi - Veal With Pasta Recipe

Giouvetsi - Veal With Pasta

From ivy 16 years ago

Traditional Greek dish which was originally baked in clay pots and outdoor wood ovens. Feta cheese is a must. Can also be cooked with lamb.

olive oil just enough to wet the bottom of your pan shopping list
1/2 kilo veal cut in servings (for those of you who like meat, increase quantity) shopping list
1 medium size onion, grated shopping list
1 kilo of ripe fresh tomatoes or 400 gr., of tinned whole tomatoes in juice shopping list
2 spoonfuls of ketchup shopping list
salt, pepper shopping list
500 gr. of pasta (kritharaki) small pasta looks like big rice shopping list
½ piece of cinnamon stick shopping list

Have the tomatoes blended in the Multi blender. Wash and strain the meat. In a saucepan heat oil and sauté the meat on both sides and onion and sauté as well. Add the salt, pepper, cinnamon, tomato juice and 1 glass of water and cook for ½ hour in the pressure cooker after the valve turns. Preheat oven at 180o and when the meat is cooked put into a Pyrex and add two glasses of water. When the sauce is warn put in the pasta and stir occasionally for 15 – 20 minutes. Serve while warm with Feta cheese.
SMALL SECRETS:
Fresh tomatoes are pealed easily if we put them in hot water for a few seconds and then we blend them in the Multi.
The easiest way to grate the onion is to do it in the Multi with a little oil. This way we save time, effort and avoid tears. Don’t make it look like cream. A few spins are enough.
Put hot water in pyrex, you gain about 10 minutes’ time.
Meat: Use point stake, it’s more tender.
Bon Appetite!!!!

Glad you like it. I am at Cyprus at the moment so you won't be hearing from me for some days.

Ah thank you Ivy. There is a little place near my apartment that makes Giouvetsi with lamb shank. It's my favorite, I always order it.
