Veal Artichoke Ragout

This recipe for velvety delicious veal artichoke ragout is a perfect winter supper! Elegant and easy and oh so flavorful.

Veal Artichoke Ragout

I’m currently in a mad, passionate love affair with artichokes.  This happens to me sometimes.  I go for these long stretches without having anything to do with an artichoke, and then I see one across a crowded room and something comes over me.

Hello, handsome.

Now before you get the wrong idea, I didn’t exactly use that dashing specimen in the picture.  Nope, this recipe uses the couldn’t-be-easier frozen artichoke hearts that come in a box in your handy frozen food section, and all you have to do is let them thaw and then toss them in the ragout at the last minute. 

This recipe for velvety delicious veal artichoke ragout is a perfect winter supper! Elegant and easy and oh so flavorful. Click to Tweethe rest of this dish is an easy veal stew that cooks for a couple of lazy hours on the stovetop in a luxurious sauce of beef broth, white wine, lemon juice, chopped onion and garlic, rosemary, tomato paste and just a little bit of flour to make it just the right amount of thickness. 

It’s the perfect dish for a lazy Sunday when you are hankering for a comfort food dinner that is just a little bit elegant, but still simple enough to eat in your favorite old soup bowls.

Plus it has artichokes.  Did I mention my undying love for artichokes?  Just don’t tell the bacon.

    i am exactly like that with avocados. crazing cravings for them, then poof gone. i love artichokes, and this looks fabulous. great photo.
    question: when you use google.sites for your printable recipes does it ever freeze up on you? mine does and can't figure it out.

    That reminds me that i need to have an artichoke craving as well sometime soon. It has been decades! Maybe not decades but at least a year. And that's just too damn long.

    I love a good veal stew. Passionate about it actually. And now I passionately need to have this.

    That stew looks so delicious, but as handsome as his 'stand-in' is…and I can see why you think he's handsome!…I've never had an artichoke in my life…that I know of anyway! I think it was the "choke" part that threw me off! ^_^ But hey! I'm game for new stuff! Just gotta get somebody to cook it for me…and eat some of it first! LOL

    This recipe is calling my name. Why let the bacon feel left out? Some diced bacon in with the onions and garlic sounds good to me.

    Surfing again. So glad I saw this one. I still have a few baby artichokes that won’t take but a few minutes to clean and cook while the rest of this (I’ll use chicken breasts) is cooking. This looks so scrumptious, especially now when I’m getting hungry. Just delicious. Another winner.

      Wow! Well, I did make this today, sort of…teach me to cook without my glasses on. ;)

      I buy lots of things that I don’t use all that often in tubes, like wasabi paste. lemongrass paste, and tomato paste. And, apparently, also hot chili paste. So, without my glasses, I went to the fridge and grabbed the tube of red stuff. Heh. That was some spicy ragout. It was still delicious, but what a surprise! My one saving grace is that I don’t like very much tomato paste, or it doesn’t like me, so I only put in about half what was called for. ;)

    I am making this with some beef sirloin chunks, and I’m going to serve it on some homemade broad egg noodles. Wish me luck! The aroma is already filling my house!
