Veal or Pork Blanquette

This is a typical French dish you can eat at any typical French restaurant. I, however, had never officially eaten one, and there is this cream commercial that comes on all the time where they make this dish and it made my mouth water... and when I read that it is a dish that is supposed to cook on low for a loong time, it made me even happier, because i just threw it all in the crock pot! Well, no, this actually needs a little bit of prep before and after the crock cooking, but still, it's so ridiculously delicious!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs pork or veal meat cut into thick chunks
1 cube (rectangle) dehydrated chicken stock (knorr is good)
5 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
1 chopped onion
2 cloves pushed into a piece of onion
1 can mushrooms (or use fresh)
1 stick of celery cut into chunks
2 bay leaves
1 piece of rosemary (mine was still on the branch, but use 1-2 tsp)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup water
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
Right before serving ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
1 egg yolk
juice from 1 lemon
Wow this is a lot of ingredients, and I had all this on hand without purposefully planning ahead? I'm proud of me!
Directions:
1. On the stove, brown your meat in the butter, and then sprinkle flour so that the meat is well coated.
2. Transfer all ingredients (except the cream, egg yolk, and lemon juice) into the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
3. 15 minutes before serving, in a bowl, whisk your heavy cream, egg yolk and lemon juice together, then stir into the crock pot.
4. Taste to see if it needs salt/pepper, and serve over rice or fettuccine!

I used pork instead of veal because I'm a cheapass, and it was really good. I've heard that it is just as good with turkey chunks too. If it is too watery, leave the lid open on the crock for a little while. The heavy cream here has the same consistency as light sour cream, so the sauce came out thicker than it might with a "heavy whipping cream." This meal probably cost me less than 5€ and it was enough to feed 4 very very hungry people..and it ROCKS!
