• In a heavy casserole, soften the shallots in the oil and butter. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Lightly dredge the veal pieces with flour. Brown a few pieces at a time in the casserole on all sides, turning with tongs. Set the browned pieces aside in a bowl.
• When the meat has browned, add the white wine and scrape up cooking juices. Return meat to the pan, along with the sage, shallots, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if the meat gets dry.
• Meanwhile, trim the tops (cutting off about two-thirds of an inch) and stalks from the artichokes. Remove tough outer leaves. Slice the artichokes vertically in quarter-inch pieces. Place them in a large bowl filled with water and the lemon juice, to stop them from turning brown.
• Heat the olive and safflower oils in a large skillet. Saute the artichokes until browned and keep them warm. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook just enough to change color and sprinkle it over the top of the artichokes.
• Just before serving the stew, sprinkle the artichokes over the top.

VEAL STEW WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS, FAVA BEANS, AND PEAS

Steps:

• Place the aromatics on a large piece of cheesecloth, gather the edges to enclose, and tie with kitchen twine.
• Prepare an ice-water bath in a large bowl for shocking the beans (which stops the cooking and preserves their color). Drop the fava beans into a large pot of boiling salted water until bright green and just tender, about 2 minutes. Lift out the beans with a slotted spoon (or a spider) and plunge into the ice-water bath. Once they are thoroughly cool, drain and peel off the tough outer skins.
• Pour the wine into a large saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 minute (to cook off some of the alcohol). Add veal, water, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and skim the foam from the surface with a slotted spoon (veal produces more surface foam than other meats, so this step is important). Add herb sachet and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook, uncovered, 1 hour, skimming the surface frequently. Add artichoke hearts to the pot, submerging them partially in the liquid. Cook until the artichokes and veal are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 20 to 25 minutes more, adding peas during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Remove the sachet and squeeze out the liquid into the pot. Then strain the contents of the pot through a fine sieve into a bowl or large measuring cup, reserving veal, artichokes, and peas. You should have about 3 cups liquid.
• Wipe out the pot and return it to the stove. First, make a roux by melting the butter over medium heat until foamy, swirling the pan to melt evenly, then whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Next, make a veloute by whisking the reserved liquid into the roux and bringing to a boil (again, always whisking), cooking until the mixture is smooth. (Classic culinary teaching would have you whisk cold stock into a hot roux, or vice versa, to prevent the sauce from forming lumps, but that isn't necessary as long as you whisk diligently.) Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the egg yolk, if using, and heavy cream, then temper by gradually whisking in a cup of the veloute (this will allow the egg to gently heat so it doesn't curdle). Now whisk everything back into the pot and cook over gentle heat until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, 1 to 2 minutes. (If you prefer, omit the egg and whisk the cream directly into the veloute in the pan.)
• Return the veal, artichokes, and peas to the pot along with the peeled favas and cook gently to heat through, stirring. Add lemon juice. Serve garnished with dill and parsley.

VEAL WITH ARTICHOKE, BLACK OLIVE AND MUSHROOM SAUTE

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender. Add the artichoke hearts and cook until heated through. Stir in the black olives and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Heat the remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the veal with salt and pepper and lightly coat with flour on both sides. Working in batches as necessary, saute the veal until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Divide the veal among 4 plates. Top with the artichoke mixture and serve immediately.

VEAL LOIN WITH ARTICHOKES AND SPINACH WITH PAPRIKA SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan. Saute shallots, onion and red pepper until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in paprika. Add chicken broth. Simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup. Remove from heat and whisk in yogurt. Season with pepper. Keep warm.
• Place artichoke hearts in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and add lemon juice. Simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Cut each artichoke heart in quarters. Set aside. Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add shallots and mushrooms and cook until soft, about 6 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 4 minutes. Stir in bread crumbs, artichokes, salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining teaspoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add veal, in batches if necessary, and saute until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Divide spinach mixture among 4 plates. Top with 2 pieces of veal. Spoon sauce over and serve immediately.

LEMON VEAL, WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Trim the veal into one-and-a-half-inch cubes. Dredge lightly with flour.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large casserole about 12 inches in diameter. Brown the veal pieces. Add the onion and one garlic clove, minced, thyme, one-half cup chicken stock and white wine. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Add the carrots and artichoke hearts and cook until almost tender. If necessary at this point add more stock. Add the mushrooms and cook 15 minutes more.
• In a small bowl beat the egg yolk. Crush the remaining clove of garlic with a mortar and pestle, adding a little salt. Add the egg yolk and beat with a fork. Pour in lemon juice and mix thoroughly. Ladle a spoonful of the cooking juices from the casserole into the egg mixture. Mix well. Add the mixture to the casserole and cook over very low heat for a minute, stirring. Do not overheat or the mixture will curdle.
• Remove from heat, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

VEAL SCALLOPS WITH LEMON AND ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Dredge the veal in the flour, shaking off the excess. In a large heavy skillet heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, in the fat sauté the veal in batches for 45 seconds on each side, or until it is golden, transferring it as it is cooked to a heated platter, and keep it warm. To the skillet add the lemon juice and the broth and simmer the mixture, stirring and scraping up the brown bits, for 2 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a small saucepan, add the artichokes, and simmer the sauce for 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and season the sauce with salt and pepper. Divide the veal among 4 heated plates and nap it with the sauce.

VEAL SWEETBREADS PICCATA WITH ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• To prepare the sweetbreads, place them in a nonreactive baking dish or large bowl and pour the milk over them, adding more if necessary to cover. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place the sweetbreads in the refrigerator to soak overnight. Drain the sweetbreads and discard the milk. Rinse the sweetbreads under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until it is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion, fennel, and celery, and season with salt and sauté, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the wine, vinegar, and peppercorns, and bring the liquid to a boil and boil until it reduces by half, about 15 minutes. Add the sweetbreads and add enough water to just cover. Place a large paper coffee filter or a piece of cheesecloth on the surface to keep the sweetbreads submerged and heat until you see the first few bubbles start to rise up from the surface. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until an instant-read thermometer inserted into one of the sweetbreads registers 120°F to 125°F, removing the smaller sweetbreads from the liquid to the colander as they become done, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice water and place a colander in the sink. Place a wire cooling rack inside a baking sheet. Plunge the sweetbreads in the ice water for 1 minute to cool completely. Lift the sweetbreads out of the ice water, pat dry with paper towels, and place them on the wire rack. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place a heavy baking dish on top of the sweetbreads and a bag of beans or a can of tomatoes on the dish to weigh it down. Place the weighted sweetbreads in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• To finish and serve the sweetbreads, adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Cut the artichokes in half crosswise at the stem. Thinly slice the stems lengthwise and place them in a bowl. Break apart the artichoke leaves to separate them and drop them into the bowl.
• Remove the weights and the plastic wrap from the sweetbreads and discard the plastic. Use a small, sharp knife to cut away and discard any knotty pieces or silver skin from the sweetbreads. Cut the sweetbreads into 2- to 3-inch segments. Pat the sweetbreads dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat the grapeseed oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat until the oil is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Sear the sweetbreads in the oil until they are deep brown and crisp all over, about 4 minutes, turning them to cook all sides. Remove the sweetbreads to a baking sheet or a large plate and place them in the oven to heat through, about 3 minutes, while you make the sauce. Wipe the pan out with paper towels and add the olive oil and garlic. Season the garlic with salt and sauté over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent it from browning, until it softens slightly and becomes fragrant. Add the wine, caperberries, red pepper flakes, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook, stirring often, until the liquid has burned off, the garlic is golden brown, and the sugar left in the pan begins to caramelize around the sides, about 8 minutes. Add the chicken stock, increase the heat to high, and bring it to a boil. Stir in the artichokes and butter, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by half and the sauce thickens slightly, about 12 minutes. Turn off the heat. Drizzle the lemon juice into the pan, add the parsley, and stir to incorporate into the sauce.
• Remove the sweetbreads from the oven. Use a slotted spoon to strain the artichoke leaves out of the liquid and spread them out in a circle about 6 inches diameter in the center of four plates, dividing them evenly. From here, building each serving in two layers, place a few leaves of cavolo nero on top of each serving of artichoke leaves. Nestle half of the sweetbreads on top of the cavolo, dividing them evenly, drizzle with half of the sauce, dividing the sauce evenly and leaving the caperberries in the pan. Build the second layer, starting with a few of the cavolo leaves, the remaining sweetbreads, and topped with a drizzle of the sauce, using all of the ingredients in the second layer. Nestle the caperberries and zested strips of lemon around and on top of the sweetbreads, and serve.
