Veal Marengo
TENDER VEAL
Veal Marengo originated in the Northwest Piedmont region of Italy. The beautiful region of Piedmont is known for its marvelous wines, excellent cuisine and very expensive white truffles. This tender veal dish is made with a rich sauce which compliments the veal very well.
The month of October begins the hunt for one of the most expensive foods in the world. The delicious white truffle, which reaches prices of over one thousand dollars a pound, is a delicacy which can be found in many Piedmontese dishes including pastas, meat and poultry. Obviously the white truffle is optional for this dish. If your lucky enough to be able to purchase them, then please shave some on the top of the veal before serving.
This Veal Marengo dish is unbelievable. The veal, seasoned with thyme and tarragon and cooked with white wine and plum tomatoes, would be perfect served with a nice bottle of Borolo. The only problem with this dish is your guests may never leave.
