Veal With Asparagus Food

VEAL OSCAR

Steps:

• To Make Cheese Sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in milk, and cook just until bubbles begin to form at the edges. Whisk in the shredded cheese until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat, cover and set aside to keep warm.
• Pound the veal thinly using a mallet or the side of a moistened cleaver. Dredge cutlets in flour, shaking off the excess. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook cutlets in butter, 1 to 2 minutes a side, until browned. Set aside and keep warm.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Trim asparagus, and blanch by dropping in boiling water for 2 minutes, until bright green.
• Heat the cooked crabmeat in the microwave or by steaming over the asparagus water.
• To Assemble: Plate the veal; top with crabmeat; criss-cross the asparagus over the top; and drizzle cheese sauce over all. Serve extra sauce on the side.

VEAL SCALLOPINE WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

BEST VEAL SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• Flatten cutlets to 1/8-in. thickness. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. Add veal; turn to coat. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil over medium heat. Add veal; cook until juices run clear, about 1 minute on each side. Remove and keep warm., Add mushrooms to skillet; cook and stir until tender, 2-3 minutes. Spoon over veal. Stir broth into skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits. Add parsley and remaining butter; cook and stir until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes longer. Pour over veal and mushrooms.

VEAL ANGELICA

Steps:

• Season each veal cutlet with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. On each of four of the cutlets, place 1 slice of cheese, 2 spears of asparagus, one slice of prosciutto, and another slice of cheese on top. Top each stack with a second cutlet, folding under and pressing the edges together to make a package.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Place the bread crumbs on a plate. Dredge both sides of the veal packages in flour. Dip each one in the egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs. Place on a plate, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. The skillet should be large enough to hold all four packages. Brown the veal on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Add the onion and red peppers, and cook over medium heat until they are translucent. Pour in the wine, and simmer until the alcohol has cooked away - it will no longer smell as strongly. Pour in the chicken broth, and add the mushrooms.
• Place the skillet and its contents into the preheated oven, and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the veal has reached 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). The sauce should also be reduced by about half.

VEAL CHOPS WITH ASPARAGUS AND MORELS

Steps:

• Cook asparagus in large saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Transfer asparagus to bowl of ice water. Drain well. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap asparagus in paper towels; place in resealable plastic bag and chill.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet or wide pot with lid over medium-high heat. Add morels and saut° until tender and browned, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer morels to bowl (do not clean skillet).
• Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in same skillet over high heat. Sprinkle veal chops with flour, salt, and pepper. Add veal chops to skillet; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil to same skillet; add shallot halves, 6 whole sage leaves, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves to skillet and saut until shallots are softened, about 6 minutes. Return veal chops to skillet; cover and roast in oven until tender, about 12 minutes. Transfer chops and shallot mixture to plate. Add remaining peanut oil to skillet; add 1/3 cup minced shallots, sliced sage leaves, and garlic and sauté 3 minutes. Add asparagus, morels, and broth; simmer until asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes. Return veal chops to skillet, cover, and cook just until heated through and liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Transfer veal chops, morel-asparagus mixture, and pan juices to plates. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve.
• What to Drink:
• A lighter-style Pinot Noir would be great with the veal chops. We like the earthy, dark berry flavors of the Domaine Jean Grivot 2004 "Les Charmois" Nuits-St.-Georges ($47).

VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH ASPARAGUS AND SWEET PEAS

Steps:

• Directions
• Season both sides of the veal with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge in the flour and give a little shake. Have a warm plate handy (I like to warm the oven to 150 degrees) with foil to tent the cooked veal. Heat a large sauté pan over meidum-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Let butter melt and start to foam but do not let it brown. Add veal (do not over crowd) and let each side brown (about 1 minute 30 seconds). Remove veal and place on warm plate and tent with foil. Add more oil and butter as you sauté each batch. In another sauté pan fill 1/3 of water and bring to a boil. Add in asparagus (cut into thirds) and cook for only 2 minutes. Remove immediately and put into a bowl of ice cold water. Wipe you large sauté pan and add 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Sauté onions for 2 minutes then add in white wine and chicken broth. Let reduce by 1/4 then add in asparagus and peas. Let simmer together for about 2 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over vegetables. To serve plate veal then top with vegetables and drizzle gravy! Garnish with fresh parsley
• Directions
• Place cauliflower florets and garlic in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover and steam until very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place florets and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water, cover and microwave on High for 3 to 5 minutes.) Place the cooked cauliflower and garlic in a food processor. Add buttermilk, 2 teaspoons oil, butter, salt and pepper; pulse several times, then process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and garnish with chives, if desired. Serve hot.
• TIP: I don't use buttermilk often. You can purchase dried buttermilk in your baking isle at the grocery store. Follow directions and it last longer in your pantry.

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.
