VEAL MARCELLE

Steps:

• One at a time, place the veal medallions between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until 1/8-inch thick. Season the veal on both sides with 1 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish. One at a time, dredge the veal medallions in the flour, and shake to remove any excess.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 or 4 of the medallions and cook until golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the pan. Cook the remaining medallions, adding more oil as needed.
• Discard any oil remaining in the pan, and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and green onions and cook, stirring, until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the crabmeat and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring gently, until warmed through, about 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the remaining 1 teaspoon butter over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and toss until heated through, about 1 minute.
• To serve, shingle 3 medallions alternately with the crabmeat mixture on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 4 asparagus spears and drizzle with the hollandaise sauce. Serve immediately.
• In the top of a double boiler or in a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, whisk the egg yolks with the water until thick and pale yellow, removing the pan or bowl from the heat as needed to prevent the eggs from overcooking. Gradually add the butter, whisking constantly until thickened. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk well to blend. Adjust the seasoning, to taste.
• Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to serve. (Or, place in a bowl set over a pot of warm water and cover; stir occasionally.)

VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH ASPARAGUS AND CHANTERELLE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium pot of boiling salted water blanch the asparagus for 1 minute. Plunge the hot asparagus in ice water to stop the cooking and to preserve the green color. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat add the unsalted butter and garlic and cook until fragrant, but not brown. Add the mushrooms and saute until golden brown. Turn the heat to high and add the vermouth. Add the cream and cook until reduced by 1/2, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Keep chanterelle sauce warm. Cut the veal scaloppine in 1/2 and season generously with salt and pepper. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Lay a slice of provolone and 2 pieces of blanched asparagus on the veal. Roll the veal scaloppine around the provolone and asparagus and dredge lightly in the seasoned flour. In an large skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter and olive oil. Place 3 rolls in the skillet, seam side down, and cook for 30 seconds. Turn the rolls over and sear the other side for 30 seconds. Transfer to a baking sheet and continue searing the rest of the rolls. Bake for about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve with the chanterelle sauce.

VEAL MARSALA

Steps:

• Sprinkle the veal with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 veal cutlets and cook until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the veal to a plate. Add another tablespoon of butter and oil, if necessary. Repeat with the remaining 4 cutlets. Set the cutlets aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the shallot and garlic. Saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add a tablespoon of the olive oil, if necessary. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender and the juices evaporate, about 3 minutes. Season with salt. Add the Marsala. Simmer until the Marsala reduces by half, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and the rosemary leaves. Simmer until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Return the veal to the skillet. Pour in all of the pan juices. Cook just until heated through, turning to coat, about 1 minute. Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter into the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Using tongs, transfer the veal to plates. Spoon the sauce over the veal and serve.
