Ingredients

Step by step method

  • Heat half the butter in a large frying pan.

  • Sauté the veal in batches for a few minutes until they are just cooked.

  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the meat to a bowl and set aside. Keep the meat warm.

  • Add the remaining butter to the pan and cook the onions until they are yellow and have softened.

  • cook the mushrooms

  • sprinkle the flour on the mushrooms and the onions

  • add the double cream and let everything simmer gently for a few minutes.

  • Taste for seasoning.

  • If the sauce is too thin, add cornflour (cornstarch) by making a slurry – simply dissolve about 1 tablespoon of cornflour (cornstarch) in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of water. Pour this slowly into the pan and stir until you have the right consistency.

  • If the sauce is too thick, you can thin the sauce with some boiling water or cream.

  • Return the meat to the pan and stir it through the sauce for about 1 minute to warm through.

  • Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
