If you brown the meat you no longer have a <i>blanquette</i>, IMO.<br /><br />CHM, the white sauce is served on the side in this case. Taking the meat and vegetables out of the sauce makes for a better photo. And a lighter meal.<br /><br />I don't really agree about throwing out the carrots that are cooked in the liquid with the veal. What a waste that is! Carrots are good food and should be consumed, not discarded. Maybe in the olden days carrots were not considered edible, but they certainly are now.<br /><br />Beaver, the <i>blanquette</i> in <i>b. de Limoux</i> must also have to do with <i>blanc</i> meaning white, as in white wine.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-7967006314910402422012-12-18T14:24:14.753+01:002012-12-18T14:24:14.753+01:00I love blanquette!

I think that dish takes its name from the thick white sauce that blankets the meat and, probably also, from the rice that always goes with it.<br />In my opinion, the dish in the photos is everything you want but a traditional "blanquette".
