What You'll Need

2 pounds veal stew meat, well trimmed
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
6 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup low-fat (1 percent) milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons browning and seasoning sauce
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced

What to Do

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
In a 3-quart covered casserole dish, combine the veal, onion, wine, carrots, bouillon cubes, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper; mix well. Cover and bake for 2 hours.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, and browning and seasoning sauce until no lumps remain. Slowly pour into the casserole dish, stirring constantly until thickened.
Stir in the mushrooms and bake uncovered for 20 to 30 more minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender. Be sure to remove the bay leaves before serving.

Notes

Note: Serve this over a bit of orzo (fine rice-like pasta) to sop up all the gravy that fricassee is known for! And remember that moderation is key when it comes to carbs, so go easy on the orzo.
