2 shallots, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/2 cup (125 ml) white wine
2 cups (500 ml) veal or chicken stock
1/4 cup (60 ml) honey

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a pan, cook almonds 2 to 3 minutes on low until they are golden. Set aside. In a large ovenproof pan, heat 2 tbsp. (30 ml) of butter on medium. Sear the veal cubes on all sides.

Thirty minutes before cooking is done, add the Camembert From Here cubes.
