Gluten -free veal blanquette: a great French classic.
The veal blanquette is a traditional dish of French gastronomy, which we appreciate for its creamy sauce and its meat meat. This gluten -free version retains all the authenticity of the dish while adapting to specific diets. Just make the roux using cornstarch instead of normal flour. The recipe is simple but requires a little time because it requires slow cooking so that the calf is very tender. I chose to prepare it for the Ninja Foodi because it saves considerable time (reduced time by one hour) while keeping the initial flavors. Served with rice or steam potatoes, this gluten -free blanquette is ideal for a family meal. To your pans!
