- Lower the heat and add the shallots and unpeeled garlic.
- Add some sweet wine and reduce until dry.
- Add the hot veal stock, the bouquet garni, and 35 cl (1 and 1/2 cups) of water.
- Simmer for 2 hours over low heat in the cast iron Dutch oven, or cook for 30 minutes in the pressure cooker, shaking it from time to time.
- 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, wash and slice the red kuri squash.
- Fry the squash in a pan with some butter, then drench with white stock.
- At the same time, wash and chop the leaves of parsley.
- When the veal has finished cooking, remove it from the Dutch oven or pressure cooker and reduce the sauce.
- Once the sauce is reduced, season as needed and gradually add 50 g (3 and 1/2 tbsp) of butter, whisking it into the sauce. Add the chopped parsley to the sauce, as well as the two peeled and chopped garlic cloves.
