uh... recipe on my blog!? Stranger things have happened! O.oAnd one for GROUND VEAL?!?! Really? Um... yes, '
fraid so!
Here's the story folks - the low
carb way of eating is working wonders for my husband and I - and well, veal is on the list of
acceptable things to eat! :D. There was a pound of ground veal on sale a bit ago and I grabbed it -why not? Mix it up a bit with the other meats.
Later on - I'm scratching my head
every time I think about that ground pound of veal in the freezer. "What am I gonna do with that?!"
*think, think, think*
Patties? No - might as well just have a burger. Not even sure we're too keen on the taste of veal yet :s.
Brown it? With seasonings?? Uh... okay but what seasonings?? Again, we sure we'll like the taste?
Hmmm...
Not knowing a great deal about veal - I put off using that ground pound for a bit.
Funny enough, tonight I wanted to go out and get a
meatlovers omelet from a diner but know to spend money right now, just isn't a great idea... so..
internets here I come!
I'm a
searchin' and a
huntin' for a recipe for ground veal, low
carb.
Com'n google don't let me down! :D
Up came a few websites and after a good bit of time I found a Veal Loaf recipe.
