VEAL STEW
Serves 6.
Note: Maggi seasoning is an Asian sauce, produced in China but sold by a Swiss company called Maggi. It used to be widely available; today it can be found online and at some supermarkets. You could substitute Kitchen Bouquet. If preferred, you could also substitute beef for veal. This recipe comes from Steve Cannon's wife (her first name is not mentioned in the article). In 1971, at the time of the story, he was a radio announcer at KSTP.
