Cocotte de veau aux herbes. After the long weekend of Turkey and leftovers, cooking something new was fun.

I love to cook my meals in the oven when the occasion presents itself thus tonight we did just that.

A wonderfully tender veal shoulder ( have your butcher cut it into pieces to save you time) with tarragon, parsley, and chervil with wine and lemon.

The essence of the herbs infuses the meat, as a result, the meat is tender and each bite melts.

Finishing it by adding the heavy cream, the sauce will dilute thus adding even more flavor to the meat.

Careful when bringing it out of the oven and cooking it on the stovetop, remember hot it is.
