Roast Veal Breast With Peppers And Onions Recipes

WHOLE ROASTED BREAST OF VEAL

Steps:

• Vaguely trim breast - just the fat globs on the rib cage and any especially skanky skin, if it even exists. If the blue U.S.D.A. ink stamp on the flesh offends you, remove it.
• Place breast in a deep roasting pan large enough to accommodate it, and season meat thoroughly and assertively with salt, all over, turning the breast ribs-side up as well, seasoning with salt all over. Do the same thing, less assertively by half, with ground black pepper. Set breast back in pan ribs-side down, and season the flesh side extremely conservatively with both ground juniper and ground allspice. A light hand here, please. Strip a few pinches of fresh thyme leaves from their stems, and scatter over the veal. Drizzle generously with the oil, allowing some to pool in roasting pan.
• Let the veal sit at room temperature to shake the chill from the refrigerator while you prepare the potatoes.
• Peel and cut into wedges 4 Yukon Gold potatoes, and scatter around in pan. Peel and halve the onion, and slice into 1/3-inch-thick half-moons. Scatter onion around in pan on top of potatoes. Keep potato and onion under the meat, not on top of it, so that breast can fully brown and get a crisp skin.
• Fill roasting pan 2 inches deep with water and white wine, in equal parts. Set in 275-degree oven, and let roast for up to 12 hours, depending on weight. Remove when it is deeply golden brown and soft and tender. You don't want it falling off the bone, but you should be able to see how loose and relaxed it has become in the layers. You may need to tent the pan with foil for the first or the last 45 minutes of roasting to give it a little braise time for the deepest interior, recalcitrant parts. Conversely, you may want to turn up the oven and give it a 30-minute finish in a hot oven to get better color.
• Pick out vertebrae. Slice off ribs. Then portion as you wish, using a sharp knife big enough for the job. Include the potatoes and onions and the liquid from the pan when you serve.

ROAST VEAL BREAST WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Trim any excess fat and gristle from the veal. Heat a large casserole on the stove top and add the olive oil. Season the veal well with salt and pepper and add to the hot casserole. Brown well on both sides turning only when fully caramelized. Remove the veal and set aside. Add the cipollini to the pot and brown well before adding the peppers. When the vegetables are well browned, put the veal back into the pot, add the wine. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover with a tight fitting lid. Allow to cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, checking occasionally that the pot has not cooked dry. If it has, add some water to keep the pot moist throughout the cooking process. When cooked, slice and serve with vegetables. This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
