Baby Achyranthes Simmered in Tomato Sauce
1.
Preheat the oven to 150C. Refrigerate and thaw veal knuckle, wipe dry, evenly sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides, sprinkle a thin layer of flour, pick up and shake to remove the floating powder.
2.
Heat 30g butter and 1tbs olive oil in a pot, and fry the beef on both sides and for a week until caramel color. (Fry the meat with white enamel? Well, yes, it is okay, but you must control the temperature and keep the oil just as hot as it is smoking. There is meat and fat in the pan, which will not be damaged. Mainly do not cook or heat solid materials. Such as salt, stones and the like are good. If you are not assured, you can use black enamel or pure cast iron pan to fry at high temperature. I find it troublesome...) Fry the meat and set it aside. Remove the pan and wait for it to cool before washing.
3.
Heat the remaining butter in the pot, add the onions and stir fry, do not have to fry, otherwise it will not be easy to color.
4.
Stir-fry until the onion sugar precipitates and forms a caramel color layer on the surface of the pot.
5.
Pour the tomato paste and stir fry together, scrape the caramel-colored agglomerates at the bottom of the pan, and fry until the water evaporates about 1/2 and a strong tomato sweet aroma appears, about 10 minutes.
6.
Add the broth and small achyranthes and bring to a boil.
7.
Put the tin foil into the bottom of the oven and bake at 150C for 1 3/4h or 2h.
8.
After confirming that the meat is soft and tender from the bone, take it out of the oven, take out the meat and put it back in the closed oven for temporary heat preservation. To make the sauce, boil the remaining soup on medium-high heat, save 1/3 of the juice, skim the excess fat (reserve some, not bad), add 2 chopped anchovies and a little dipping oil.
9.
Arrange and top with sauce, sprinkle some fresh parsley or parsley, and if you have some roasted almond flakes or pine nuts on hand, add more. The combination of slimy and tender, then scoop up the fragrant marrow oil with a small spoon, such a wonderful meal!
