Veal Braised with Pumpkin

Meat with vegetables isn't just tasty — it's good for you, too. Here's another dish from my collection. I've made it more times than I can count, that's how much I love it. It's the kind you chop, drop in a pot, and forget about, and the result comes out wonderful. It's especially handy in a slow cooker, where nothing can possibly scorch.

    1. Wash and dry the veal and vegetables. Peel the pumpkin, carrots, potatoes, and onion. Seed and stem the bell peppers.
    1. Cut the veal, pumpkin, potatoes, and peppers into large cubes, and cut the carrots into half-rounds. Chop the onion.
    1. Season the meat with salt and pepper and let it sit for 5 minutes.
    1. In a heavy-bottomed pot, build layers: half the meat, half the pumpkin, the rest of the meat, the potatoes, the rest of the pumpkin, the bell peppers, then the onion. Season with salt and pepper and pour in enough water to cover the vegetables.
    1. Cover the pot and set it over the heat. Once the water boils, lower the heat and braise until tender, about 50 minutes. Stir the finished dish and let it rest for 10 minutes.
    1. Serve sprinkled with finely chopped cilantro.
