• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Have a bowl filled with ice water ready. Trim the tough outer leaves and base from the artichokes. Place them in boiling water for about 10 minutes, until tender. Remove from the water and place them in bowl of ice water. Cut artichokes in 1/4 or 1/8ths and set aside.
• Place pearl onions in boiling water and blanch them for 3 minutes. Refresh them in ice water and set aside. Put shelled fava beans in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove them from boiling water and place them in ice water. Slip skins off the fava beans and set aside.
• Place shelled English peas in boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove them from boiling water and place them in ice water. When cold, remove from water and set aside. Repeat the blanching method for the asparagus, carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash. Remember to just blanch them until tender.
• Place scrubbed fingerling potatoes on baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil. Place in oven and roast for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. The potatoes should still be quite firm. Cut them into 1/2-inch dice and set aside.
• Roast the Veal: Place a 12-inch, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Season the veal chop on both sides with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to the pan and heat. Place the veal in the pan and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Turn the chop over and continue cooking on the other side for 4 more minutes. The meat should be well browned.
• Add mushrooms, artichokes, potatoes, roasted garlic, and pearl onions to the pan. Place the thyme and sage sprigs on top of the veal and place in the preheated oven. Roast the veal and vegetables for 12 minutes. Using a kitchen towel or oven mitt, remove the pan from the oven. Remove the veal from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Allow the veal to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Prepare the Sauce: Place the pan with the vegetables over high heat and saute the vegetables that were cooked with the veal for 1 minute. Add the Madeira and the stock. Reduce by 1/2 and add the peas, fava beans, asparagus, carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash. Add the butter (cut in small pieces) to the pan. Swirl the pan to incorporate the butter. Spoon the vegetables and sauce onto 2 warm dinner plates. Slice the veal and lay it over the vegetables. Serve and enjoy.

BRAISED VEAL SHANKS WITH FAVA BEAN PUREE

Steps:

• To make the veal, heat the olive oil in a large, deep, heavy-bottom skillet. Add the veal shanks and cook until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the shanks from the skillet and set aside. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring constantly, until browned, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
• Return the shanks to the pan and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer slowly for 1 hour. Add the carrots. Continue cooking until the meat is very tender, about 1 hour more. Remove the shanks from the skillet. Increase the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, salt and pepper and return the shanks to the skillet. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
• Meanwhile, to make the puree, place the fava beans in a medium-size saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid. Place the beans in a food processor. Add 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, the cream and the olive oil. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place 1 shank on each of 4 plates and spoon the sauce over. Divide the puree among the plates and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.

RACK OF LAMB WITH FAVA BEANS AND ROASTED GARLIC CUSTARD

Steps:

• At least 1 day before serving, make the lamb sauce: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the lamb trimmings and bones in a large roasting pan and roast, turning twice, until lightly browned, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until browned, about 8 minutes. Add the bones, the wine and enough water to cover the bones by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, skim and add the garlic, peppercorns, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and caraway seeds. Reduce the heat and simmer 4 hours.
• Strain broth and refrigerate overnight. Scrape off and discard the fat. Place the broth in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and boil until reduced to 1 cup, about 45 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Reheat before serving.
• To make the custard, preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the garlic in a small baking dish, drizzle with the olive oil and season with a little salt to taste and pepper. Add the water to the pan, cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake until soft, about 1 hour. When the garlic cloves are cool enough to handle, squeeze them from the skin and place in a food processor with the eggs and the cream. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl. Season with the 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt and the pepper.
• Ladle the garlic mixture into 6 6-ounce ramekins and place the ramekins in a roasting pan. Pour in enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins and bake until set, about 50 minutes. Reheat before serving. (Custards can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.)
• To make the lamb, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper to season both racks. Heat the canola oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, place the racks in the skillet fat side down and sear for 6 minutes. Turn the racks over and roast in the oven until medium-rare, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the fava beans with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
• To serve, cut the racks into double chops and divide among 6 plates. Loosen the custards by running the tip of a small knife around the edge of the ramekins and unmold 1 onto each plate. Scatter the beans around the plates and drizzle some of the sauce over each chop. Serve immediately.
