toettchen (veal stew from the munsterland)

Recipe by
Marion Wilting

This is a very typical recipe from the Munsterland region of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. It used to be eaten as lunch or specifically on Mondays after "Schützenfest". Since there is no category "veal" I listed it as a beef dish.
