GRILLED VEAL CHOP WITH FINGERLINGS, MUSHROOMS AND CHERRY PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Season the veal chops generously with salt and let them sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Rub the chops with oil on both sides and arrange on the preheated grill on a very hot spot. After about 3 to 4 minutes, when the chops have developed lovely grill marks, rotate the chops 90 degrees to create the cross-hatch pattern. Cook the chops for an additional 3 to 4 minutes on that side and then repeat the process on the other side. This will cook the chops to about medium-rare. Remove the chops to a serving platter and set aside in a warm place to let the juices redistribute.
• While the chops are cooking, coat a large saute pan with extra-virgin olive oil and over medium heat add the garlic cloves.
• When the garlic has become golden brown and is very aromatic, remove and discard the garlic. It has fulfilled its garlic destiny. Add the potatoes, season with salt and brown the potatoes on each side. When the potatoes are brown on each side, add the mushrooms and season with salt. Saute the mushrooms for 5 to 7 minutes. When the mushrooms have become soft and aromatic, add in the cherry peppers and 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pepper vinegar (more if you like things REALLY spicy). Add the vinegar in baby steps, it can make things VERY spicy and there will not be any recovery. Check for seasoning and season with salt if needed (it will). Toss in the chives. Transfer the potato mixture to a serving bowl or platter and serve immediately with the veal chops drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Mouthwateringly spicy and delicious!

VEAL, MUSHROOM, AND RED PEPPER GOULASH

Steps:

• Soak dried mushrooms in hot water until softened, about 30 minutes.
• Remove mushrooms from liquid, reserving it, and rinse mushrooms. Squeeze out excess moisture and coarsely chop. Pour reserved liquid through a paper towel-lined sieve into a bowl to remove grit. Return mushrooms to liquid.
• Pat veal dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then brown veal in batches. Transfer as browned to a bowl.
• Add 1 teaspoon oil and onion to pot and cook over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until softened. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour and paprika and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in soaked mushrooms with liquid, scraping up any brown bits, and tomato paste, then bring to a simmer, whisking. Add veal with any juices.
• Cover and simmer over low heat until veal is tender, about 1 1/4 hours.
• While meat is simmering, lay peppers on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flames on high. Roast peppers, turning with tongs, until skins are blistered and blackened in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. (Or cut sides from peppers, discarding seeds and stems, and broil, skin sides up, on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat.)
• Transfer peppers to a bowl, cover, and cool. Peel and seed peppers and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat remaining teaspoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

WILD MUSHROOM AND VEAL TERRINE WITH ROASTED YELLOW PEPPER COULIS

Steps:

• Make the terrine:
• In a small bowl combine the bread, 1/4 cup of the cream, and the egg white. In a large skillet cook the garlic and the onion in 2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, add the white mushrooms, and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened and begin to give off their liquid. Add 2 tablespoons of the Cognac and cook the mixture, stirring, until all the liquid has evaporated. Let the mixture cool, transfer it to a food processor, and purée it with the bread mixture. Add the veal, the remaining 1/4 cup cream, and salt and pepper to taste and blend the mixture, scraping down the sides, until it is smooth. Transfer the veal mixture to a bowl and keep it covered and chilled while cooking with wild mushrooms. In the skillet, cleaned, cook the shallots with salt and pepper to taste in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until they are softened, add the wild mushrooms, and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the broth, the wine, and the remaining 2 tablespoons Cognac and boil the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated. let the mixture cool, stir in into the veal mixture, and spoon the mixture into a well-buttered 1-quart terrine, smoothing the top. Cover the terrine with a buttered sheet of foil and the lid, put the terrine in a baking pan, and add enough hot water to the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the terrine. Bake the terrine in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 1 hour to 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 165°F. Let the terrine cool and pour off any excess liquid. Invert the terrine onto a plate and chill it, covered, overnight.
• Make the coulis:
• In a blender blend together the roasted peppers, the oil, the vinegars, and salt and black pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth.
• Cut the terrine into 1/2-inch-thick slices and pour about 1/4 cup of the coulis onto each of 8 serving plates. Put a slice of terrine over the coulis and sprinkle each serving with some of the diced bell peppers and the chives.
• To roast peppers:
• Using a long-handled fork char peppers over an open flame, turning them, until skins are blackened, 2 to 3 minutes. (Alternatively, broil peppers on rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from heat, turning them every 5 minutes, until skins are blistered and charred, 15 to 25 minutes.) Transfer peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle. Keeping peppers whole, peel them, starting at blossom end. Cut off tops and discard seeds and ribs. (Wear rubber gloves when handling chilies.)

VEAL SCALOPPINE IN MARINARA SAUCE

Steps:

• To prepare sauce, heat 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter in large skillet on 'medium' setting.
• Add onion, bell pepper and garlic; sweat until vegetables are tender.
• Add tomato paste, water, thyme, basil, sugar and crushed bay leaves; stir until tomato paste is incorporated and mixture is smooth.
• (Note: When using fresh herbs instead of dried, I approximately triple the amount of basil and double the thyme -- but you can tell better by taste than exact measurements. Replacing 1/2 cup of the water with wine is also an excellent option. And I *always* throw in the hot pepper flakes!).
• Taste mixture, adding salt and pepper as needed. (For inexperienced cooks, I would suggest starting with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and going -- slowly -- from there until it tastes just right.).
• Continue cooking over medium heat, allowing mixture to slowly reach a boil; at that point, reduce heat several notches and simmer gently for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, season veal scallops on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Measure flour and breadcrumbs into separate bowls.
• (Note: A scant measure of flour will be enough. Breadcrumbs can be fresh or commercial. Recipe calls for 'plain', but the Italian-seasoned kind work fine also.).
• Break egg into third bowl, beating well with a whisk.
• In a second skillet or large pot, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter on 'medium' setting.
• Dredge scallopini in flour, coating lightly but thoroughly on both sides; dip in beaten egg to coat; cover all over with breadcrumbs.
• Brown thoroughly in hot oil (depending on how brown you want them, it will take about 2-4 minutes per side); drain on paper towels.
• Add browned scallopini to marinara sauce, turning to coat if necessary; continue simmering slowly until meat is thoroughly done and very tender (10-15 minutes).

VEAL SCALLOPINI WITH MUSHROOMS AND PEPPERS - ... RECIPE

Steps:

• One at a time, place the veal scallops between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently with a meat tenderizer until 1/4 inch thick. Spread the flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Lightly dust the veal scallops, shaking off the excess. In a large fry pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the veal and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer the veal to a plate. Add the bell pepper and mushrooms to the fry pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bell pepper is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Stir in the prosciutto and season with salt and pepper. Return the veal to the pan, spooning the vegetables and prosciutto over it, and cook for about 1 minute more. Transfer to a warmed platter or individual plates and sprinkle with the parsley. Serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
