Roasted Veal with Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients (for 4-6 servings):

• 1.5 kg veal (leg, shoulder, or ribs)
• 1 kg potatoes, peeled and cut into halves or quarters
• 200 ml sunflower oil
• 200 ml beef broth or water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika (optional)

Instructions:

Preparing the Meat: Wash the veal and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the meat with sunflower oil, salt, black pepper, and ground paprika (if using).

Preparing the Potatoes: Drizzle the peeled potatoes with some sunflower oil, season with salt and pepper, and evenly arrange them around the meat in a roasting dish.

Roasting: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Pour the beef broth or water into the roasting dish to keep the meat and potatoes moist during cooking. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and roast for 1.5 to 2 hours, occasionally checking to ensure there is enough liquid (add more broth or water if needed).

Final Roasting: After 1.5 to 2 hours, remove the aluminum foil and increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F). Roast for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the veal develops a nice, golden-brown crust and the potatoes become crispy.

Serving: Remove the veal and potatoes from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a seasonal salad or vegetables of your choice.
