Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a large bowl, cook almonds 2 to 3 minutes on low until they are golden. Set aside. In a large ovenproof pan, heat 30 ml (3 tbsp.) of butter on medium. Sear the veal cubes on all sides. Add shallots and garlic. Add salt and pepper. Mix well. Add white wine, veal stock, honey, apricots, orange zest and star anise. Cover and bake approximately 2 hours or until the meat is very tender.

Thirty minutes before cooking is done, add the Camembert From Here cubes.

Before serving, garnish with roasted sliced almonds and green onions, accompanied with braised carrots and beets.

Suggestion

Replace the Camembert From Here with a Le Casimir.
