Veal cheeks stewed in red wine

It takes a long time to cook, but the taste is divine! This dish can be classified as complex. No, you don't need to be a professional chef to cook it. Just buying veal or beef cheeks is quite difficult. This can only be done at the market and better at a familiar butcher. If he is kind, he will carve this wonderful meat cut himself, which after cooking becomes tender, soft and can literally be "disassembled" with a fork, like a good stew. Or do it at home, cutting off all the excess meat – "white", all the films and muscles. Try: buy, process and cook – the dish deserves it The Corporation Easily And Simply Presents!!!
