Family Style Veal Roast Recipes

VEAL ROAST BLANQUETTE

Steps:

• In an 8 quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown roast on all sides. Add thyme and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.
• To the pot, add carrots, potatoes and onions. Cover, and simmer 30 minutes. Toss in mushrooms. Cover, and simmer 15 minutes, or until vegetables and veal are tender. Remove roast and vegetables, and keep warm.
• In a cup, stir flour and 2 tablespoons water until blended with no lumps. Gradually stir into liquid in Dutch oven. Cook, stirring constantly, until gravy is slightly thickened. Stir in peas, and heat through.
• In a small bowl, beat egg yolks. Stir in a small amount of hot gravy. Slowly pour egg yolk mixture back into gravy, whisking until thickened. DO NOT BOIL! To serve, pour some gravy over the veal and vegetables. Serve remaining gravy in a gravy boat.

ROASTED LOIN OF VEAL WITH GARLIC, SHALLOTS, AND MUSTARD GRAVY

Steps:

• Season the veal and salt and pepper, spread the mustard over the top and sides, and cover the veal with the fatback. Arrange the veal, the garlic, and the shallot in a roasting pan just large enough to hold them, add the wine, and roast the veal in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven, basting every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Discard the fatback and roast the veal for 15 to 20 minutes more, or until it registers 150°F. on a meat thermometer. Transfer the veal to a cutting board and let it stand, covered loosely with foil, for 15 minutes. Transfer the garlic and the shallots with a slotted spoon to a bowl, toss them with 2 teaspoons of the chopped tarragon, and keep them warm, covered with foil.
• While the veal is standing, skim the fat from the pan juices, add the water, and deglaze the pan over high heat, scraping up the brown bits, until the mixture is reduced by half. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl and season the gravy with salt and pepper. Cut the veal into 1/2-inch-thick slices, arrange the slices on a platter, and scatter the garlic and the shallots around them. Nap the veal with some of the gravy, sprinkle it with the remaining 1 teaspoon chopped tarragon, and garnish the platter with the tarragon strips. Serve the remaining gravy separately.

ROAST VEAL WITH ROSEMARY AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Put the oil in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place the veal in the pan with the garlic and cover with tin foil. Roast the veal for one hour, basting frequently.
• Peel the potatoes and cut them into one-and-a-half-inch pieces. Cover with water and set aside.
• Dry the potatoes with paper towels and after the veal has roasted for one hour, place them in the roasting pan around the veal. Sprinkle with rosemary and roast for one hour. The veal will have cooked two hours in all.
• Remove the veal to a heated serving dish and surround with potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the fat from the roasting pan and add the stock and wine. Bring to boil. Simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Correct seasoning and serve in a heated sauceboat.
