The basis of PP and diet is the consumption of sufficient protein. Meat should be lean. Therefore, it is better to replace pork with dietary veal. To make it juicy and tender, choose light red meat of a young calf for cooking. It should be fresh, smell pleasantly of fresh milk and quickly regain its shape after pressing with a finger.

How to cook Dietary veal

Step 1

Prepare the meat. Cut the meat into random pieces of 2-3 cm. Put in a bowl. Add half of the garlic and salt. Stir. Cover with a lid. Put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the veal. Fry the veal in a dry frying pan on both sides until a crust forms, 2-3 minutes. Place the meat in a baking dish. Add the carrots, bay leaf, remaining garlic and ground pepper. Stir. Pour in water until it just reaches the top of the meat. Cover with foil. Place in the oven, preheated to 150 degrees, for 1 hour.
