EMINCE DE VEAU A LA CREME

Steps:

• Julienne veal and prosciutto.
• Heat the butter and when hot (but not browning) add the veal and stir rapidly.
• Salt and pepper. Add the prosciutto and stir fry briefly. Use a slotted spoon to remove the meat.
• Add mushrooms to skillet and cook until wilted. Add the shallots and cook about a minute, then add the wine.
• Cook, stirring, until liquid is almost completely reduced, then add the cream.
• Cook about 5 minutes over high heat, stirring. Add the meats and juices.
• Combine and cook quickly until piping hot.
• Check seasoning; salt and pepper as desired.
• Serve immediately with rosti potatoes (traditional) or egg noodles.

CARROTS A LA CREME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 (or if you're roasting or baking something else, cook the carrots at that temperature). In a large skillet, melt the butter and add the carrots and a little salt. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes until they lose their raw look. Stir in pepper to tase, nutmeg and cream fraiche. Cook until the mixture boils.
• Spoon the carrot mixture into a small, shallow casserole or baking dish. Cover with a lid and bake until the cream is absored and the carrots brown around the edges, about 40 minutes. No harm if the carrots cook longer -- they simply continue to caramelize. But don't undercook, or the dish will taste very ordinary.

EMINCE DE VEAU A LA SUISSE (SAUTEED CUBED VEAL IN CREAM)

Steps:

• Line a small mixing bowl with a sieve large enough to hold the meat.
• Cut the veal into very small cubes, about half an inch. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat half of the oil in a heavy skillet and when it is very hot and just starting to smoke, add half of the meat. Do not crowd the meat. Cook over high heat, stirring, until the meat is lightly browned, about one and one-half minutes. Pour the meat into the sieve.
• Add the remaining oil to the skillet and when it is just starting to smoke, add the remaining meat. Cook as above. Pour the meat into the sieve. Pour out the oil from the bowl and return the meat to the bowl.
• Wipe out the skillet. Add half of the butter and when it is melted, add the shallots. Cook briefly, stirring. Add the wine and cook until it is reduced by half or slightly more.
• Add the cream and any accumulated liquid from the meat. Cook down over high heat about two minutes. Add the meat and reheat. Swirl in the remaining butter. Sprinkle with parsley, tarragon and chives and serve.
