Veal with kritharaki/orzo (yuvetsi)
Typical greek dish, yuvetsi combines veal with pasta (orzo) in a rich tomato sauce. Here, find the original recipe with a small personal touch of eggplants. My son asked me to write here that it is DIVINE :)
Ingredients
700 gr of veal (no fat and of excellent quality)
1 eggplant
3 good red tomatoes or 1 can of smashed tomatoes
salt, black and white pepper, 2 laurel leaves, olive oil
250 gr of kritharaki (rice-shaped pasta or any small pasta)
Procedure
Put in a low casserole olive oil and fry the meat for a while.
Continue frying by adding also the eggplant cut in small cubes.
Continue adding the tomatoes, the salt, the peppers, and the laurel leaves. Put enough water to cover all these ingredients and cover the casserole.
Either you use a pressure cooker like me and you cook for 25 min, either you low the heat and leave for about an hour until the meat becomes tender.
Once the meat is done, you uncover and you add the kritharaki pasta for as long as it says it's box.
Food is ready to serve! Sprinkle grated cheese on top like parmiggiano reggiano to boost the taste even more :)
