I made the vegetables separately, just to see what it was like, but I think I'd throw them in with the rest of the stew next time.

I am sure Napoleon's chef didn't have a dishwasher on the battlefield so he probably cut corners also. Remembering this version of Veal Marengo comes from Le Cordon Bleu. What does that say? Please tell your friend who blogs at Mae Travels that this Battle was the basis for Puccini's opera, Tosca. I enjoyed reading additional history about this dish.Mary Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495234299898574943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904224777464805669.post-78456655540522220852015-03-14T23:11:53.609+11:002015-03-14T23:11:53.609+11:00Gaye, Your Veal Marengo looks wonderful!

Having defeated the Austrians, he was a long way from his supply wagons, and the quartermaster could find only "three eggs, four tomatoes, six crayfish, a small hen, a little garlic, some oil and a saucepan. Using his bread ration, Napoleon's chef Dunand first made a panade with oil and water... ." <br /><br />Bonaparte insisted on having this simple rustic dish over and over again for good luck, and objected to any changes, though Dunanad wanted to improve and make the dish more classical.Mae Travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328946930935633113noreply@blogger.com
