SPRING VEAL STEW



Spring Veal Stew image

This is a wonderful springtime stew loaded with spring onions or shallots, fresh tarragon and peas. Much of the flavor comes from browning the veal cubes, but be careful: veal is pretty lean, so it doesn't take long to dry out. Stewing it for 15 to 20 minutes (sometimes even less) with a little splash of white wine is all it takes. Add the peas at the end, and cook until they're tender and warm - you don't want to cook all the flavor out of them, especially if they're fresh.

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 to 2 pounds veal cubes, no side larger than 1 1/2 inches
1 sprig fresh tarragon, or 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 pound spring onions or shallots, peeled (if large, trimmed and halved), or scallions, each cut in 2 or 3 pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup white wine or water
1 cup fresh shelled peas, snow peas or frozen peas

Steps:

  • Put a 12-inch skillet over high heat, and a minute later add oil and butter. Add the meat, in one layer (if you use the larger amount of meat you may have to cook in batches). Cook, undisturbed, until the meat is nicely browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
  • Add tarragon, onions and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and any meat stuck to bottom of pan is released, about 5 minutes. Add liquid, stir, reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook 30 to 40 minutes, or until the veal is tender.
  • Uncover, add peas and raise the heat to medium. Cook about 5 minutes, until the peas are done. Adjust seasoning, garnish if you like and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 slices veal scaloppine, about 1 1/4 pounds
3/4 pound mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup peanut, vegetable or corn oil
1/4 cup flour

VEAL SCALOPPINE IN MARINARA SAUCE



Veal Scaloppine in Marinara Sauce image

This is from an old cookbook entitled "Pineapple Gold", written by Joann Hulett Dobbins. I've used it so often over the last 20-plus years that it's falling apart and now has to be kept in a big ziplock bag instead of on the shelf. :) The recipe is very adaptable to personal tastes. Add mushrooms to the sauce, increase the garlic, replace some of the water with wine, throw in some red pepper flakes if you like highly-seasoned foods, etc., etc. The sauce ingredients have been doubled because we like a lot and also enjoy the leftovers on other things. You can cut it in half if you prefer. I serve it with fettucini, a Caesar salad and hot French bread. This takes a little time, but it's easy and real good.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste
4 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon sugar
2 bay leaves, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
salt
pepper
1/2 lb veal, scallopini (4 slices)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 cup breadcrumbs

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 SCALOPPINE WITH FRESH CORN POLENTA AND SALSA VERDE-BROWN BUTTER



Veal Scaloppine with Fresh Corn Polenta and Salsa Verde-Brown Butter image

One of my favorite dinners growing up was my mother's veal piccata. Her recipe came from an old cookbook called The Pleasures of Italian Cooking, by Romeo Salta, a gift to her from my father. My father had been a devoted fan of Romeo Salta when he was the chef at Chianti in Los Angeles in the fifties. Back then, it was a swinging Italian joint with red-checkered tablecloths, opera 78s blasting, and red wine flowing into the late hours. My mother's (and Romeo's) veal was pounded thin, sautéed, and drenched in a lemony caper-butter sauce. There's nothing wrong with that classic rendition, but, to add another layer of flavor, I brown the butter and finish it with salsa verde, a pungent purée of capers, anchovies, garlic, oregano, and tons of parsley. To get the finest, crispy crust on the veal, I dredge it in Wondra, a finely milled flour sold at most supermarkets. This dish is home-style Italian comfort food at its best.

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 3/4 pounds veal top round
1 1/2 cups Wondra or all-purpose flour
1/4 to 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
Salsa verde (recipe follows)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Fresh corn polenta (recipe follows)
2 ounces dandelion greens or arugula, cleaned and dried
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon marjoram or oregano leaves
1/4 cup coarsely chopped mint
1 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small clove garlic
1 salt-packed anchovy, rinsed, bones removed
1 tablespoon salt-packed capers, rinsed and drained
1/2 lemon, for juicing
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups fresh corn (from about 2 ears)
2 teaspoons thyme leaves
1 recipe polenta (see page 97)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the veal against the grain into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Cut the slices into eighteen 1 1/2-ounce pieces (or have your butcher do this for you). Pound the veal between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/8-inch thickness. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Dredge the veal in flour, coating well on both sides. Set the floured veal aside on a baking sheet.
  • Heat two large sauté pans over high heat for 2 minutes. Swirl 2 tablespoons oil in each pan, and wait a minute. Shake the excess flour from the veal, and place a single layer in each pan (make sure the pieces of veal are not crowded or overlapping). Cook a minute or two on each side, until the veal is nicely browned. Remove the meat to a baking sheet, and finish cooking the remaining veal, adding more oil to the pan, as necessary.
  • Pour the oil out of one of the pans but don't wipe it clean (those crusty bits are tasty). Return the pan to medium-high heat (you will only need one pan to make the sauce), and add the butter. Cook a few minutes, swirling the pan often, until the butter browns and smells nutty. Turn off the heat and wait a minute. Then stir in 1/3 cup salsa verde, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Taste for balance and seasoning. Be careful-the butter will be very hot.
  • Spoon half the hot polenta onto a large warm platter, and scatter the dandelion greens over the top. Arrange the veal over the greens, allowing some of the polenta and greens to show through. Spoon the salsa verde-brown butter over the veal. Serve the rest of the polenta and remaining salsa verde on the side.
  • Using a mortar and pestle, pound the herbs to a paste. (You may have to do this in batches.) Work in some of the olive oil, and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Pound the garlic and anchovy, and add them to the herbs.
  • Gently pound the capers until they're partially crushed, and add them to the herbs. Stir in the remaining oil, a pinch of black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste for balance and seasoning.
  • Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons butter and, when it foams, add the corn. Season with the thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper and sauté 3 to 4 minutes, until the corn is just cooked and tender. Stir the corn into the polenta right before serving.
  • You can pound the veal and prepare the salsa verde a few hours ahead. You can make the polenta and sauté the corn ahead of time, too. Stir the corn into the polenta at the last minute.
