Braised Veal Cheeks Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

So for the past 3 months I have been doing something pretty amazing.  I did mention to my sisters that it was the best thing I had ever done and then they asked about getting married.  Ooops.  Getting married is first, then this.  I signed up to do a Masters Series Class at Culinaeriehere in Washington, DC.  I have learned soooo much!  Each week we focus on a different food, focusing on technique rather than individual recipes.  The class is something I look forward to every week and has really helped me grow as a home cook.

During the class, we spend the first part in a lecture.  Our chef instructor shows us how to prepare the ingredient du jour and then we spend the last half actually preparing the food ourselves.  The chef doesn’t use recipes, and says “Cook it until it’s done and it tastes good.”  So frequently it is a large guessing game.  This is making me a better cook!  I know it!  Luckily, some genius before us, mention to the chef, “If we don’t taste yours, how are we supposed to know what it tastes like?”  In this particular class, she shared these braised veal cheeks with us, since the ingredient du jour was veal.  We didn’t have the opportunity to make this, but I did taste it and I have been thinking about it every since.  Here is your opportunity to try it.

Don’t be scared by the fact that these are veal cheeks.  They are tender pieces of meat that will rock your socks off.  If you aren’t afraid to make this, but know your dinner-eaters might be weary, tell them it is beef stew.  They will never know the difference.

You will probably need to go to a butcher to get veal cheeks.  If you don’t see them out in the butcher’s case, make sure you ask for them.  Tom and I got about 3 pounds and it was just enough for us.

Rainier Cherry, Fennel and White Bean Salad

While my unabashed love for cherries typically veers more toward the sweet side, the savory uses for cherries need their day, too. Rainier cherries, while not as popular as their bright red cousins Bing or Sweets, are like the unsung hero of stone fruit.  They’re light and sweet, not as hardy, with a crisp skin…
