Description
Everyone has their own idea of how to cook meat deliciously. For example, my mom can't stand it when there are dried fruits in meat, but I, on the contrary, really like them. That's why today I'll tell you how to prepare veal stewed with prunes. This dish turns out very filling, with a rich, vibrant flavor and an amazing aroma. The meat itself becomes so tasty that you can even serve it on a festive table, which I've done more than once. True, this veal recipe with prunes will take quite some time, but I think it's definitely worth the effort.
