French cuisine never disappoints. This dish won't take much time to prepare, although the longer this stew simmers, the better it will be.
Veal stew with olives is one of the Corsican specialties, especially appreciated in gastronomy, and Corsicans usually serve this stew with pasta, but it also goes well with young (boiled) potatoes.
Although we list the ingredients for 4 people, you can add more ingredients and spices if you like - because there's nothing better than leftovers from a fine stew, which are just as good, and often even better, eaten the day after!
