Veal with carrot and potato creates a savoury iron-containing mash. Cook the meat thoroughly and keep the final blend moist so no tough or chewy fibres remain.
Wash and peel carrot and potato; cut into small even pieces. Trim any visible gristle from veal and cut into small pieces.
Simmer veal gently in enough water until fully cooked and tender; ensure no raw centre remains, checking a food thermometer against guidance for the actual cut and preparation.
Add carrot and potato early enough that both become completely fork-tender. Continue cooking until veal shreds or minces easily and vegetables crush readily.
Finely shred or blend veal with the vegetables, loosening with safe cooking liquid until moist and spoonable; check that no tough strands remain.
Stir in olive oil and cool before feeding.
Finely blend fully cooked veal with tender vegetables for a smooth cohesive spoonful; later serve well-minced soft meat mixed into mash. Avoid dry meat pieces that are difficult to manage.
