Method

5 soļi
  1. Soak the veal in cold water for 1 hour, changing the water once. This draws out the blood, as the book asks.
  2. Put the veal in a large pot, cover with about 2.5 l cold water and add the salt. Bring slowly to the boil and skim off the foam. Add the mace and bay leaf, partly cover and simmer gently for 1½–2 hours, until a knife slides in easily and the bones come away.
  3. Meanwhile top and tail the gooseberries and rinse them. Put them in a saucepan with the sugar, butter and water and cook gently for 5–8 minutes, until soft but mostly whole and the juice is syrupy. Taste: they should be sharp and sweet at once. Add a little more sugar if they are very sour.
  4. Lift out the veal, pull out the bones and gristle, and cut the meat into serving pieces of about 5 cm.
  5. Put the pieces in a wide pan with the gooseberries and 100 ml of the cooking broth (our addition) and simmer together for 5 minutes. Serve in a warm dish.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the book says only to soak the breast, boil it like other veal, cut it up and heat it again with gooseberries made as in the recipe before. We take the boiling and the berries from 02-059: salted water with mace and a bay leaf, and slightly unripe gooseberries cooked with sugar and a little butter. The amounts, times and the splash of broth are ours.

Gooseberries

stiķen-ogas are almost certainly gooseberries (German Stachelbeeren). Frozen gooseberries work out of season. 02-059 offers sorrel as the other choice.

The broth

the book doesn't say what to do with it. Use it as soup or stock.

Lamb or pigeons

the book says breast of lamb or young pigeons can be made the same way. Lamb breast needs about 1½ hours; squab or young pigeons 40–60 minutes, until tender.
