veal with tuna sauce

December 28th, 2009

You may not think it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes veal with tuna sauce but it is obtainable. It is crucial to not eat veal with tuna sauce or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 1800 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last 2 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet aids. I have only been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

I also find it is helpful if you have some support when on a weight loss program and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Veal with Tuna Sauce (Vitello Tonnato)

This is a Northern Italian classic.

1 (4 pound) leg of veal, boned, rolled and tied
1 (2 ounce) can anchovy fillets, drained
3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 cups dry white wine
3 stalks celery (with leaves), cut up
2 medium onions, quartered
2 medium carrots, cut up
4 teaspoons instant chicken bouillon
8 black peppercorns
4 sprigs parsley
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Tuna sauce
Minced parsley

Make 10 to 12 deep cuts down length of meat with small knife. Cut 3 anchovy fillets into 3/4-inch pieces. Cover and refrigerate remaining anchovies for Tuna Sauce. Stuff a piece of anchovy and a slice of garlic into each cut. Place meat, wine, celery, onions, carrots, bouillon, peppercorns, 4 sprigs parsley, the bay leaves, salt, thyme and enough water to cover in Dutch oven. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until meat is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Skim foam if necessary. Remove from heat; cool.

Remove meat from broth; strain and reserve 1/4 cup broth for Tuna Sauce. Prepare Tuna Sauce. Pat meat dry; cut into thin slices. Spoon a thin layer of Tuna Sauce into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Arrange meat slices in sauce. Spoon remaining sauce over meat slices. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.

Arrange meat slices on platter; spoon Tuna Sauce over meat. Sprinkle with snipped parsley.
