I already know that by posting this recipe, I'll ruffle a few feathers (smiles) but this is how I love it so just try it once and tell me Veal spleen is an offal cut people often overlook. Its spongy texture absorbs the stuffing beautifully without resisting. Plan 1 hour 30 minutes braising covered in a Dutch oven. Serve hot sliced, or cold pan-fried with the vegetables as a salad on the side.
