Roasted Loin Of Berkshire Grass Fed Veal Served With Roasted Potatoes With Wild Ramps And Morel Mushroom Sauce Recipes

STUFFED VEAL LOIN SERVED WITH FRESH SPINACH

Steps:

• Soak the mushroom in warm water for about 1 hour. Saute celery, carrot, onions, prosciutto and sage in butter over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Add cabbage and mushrooms and cook for 5 more minutes or until all the vegetables are tender. Add wine and let evaporate. Add raisins and a pinch of cinnamon. The stuffing should well cooked and with no liquid left. Clean the loin from the fat. Cut the loin in a half. With a butcher's knife make an incision lengthwise in the loin, that goes from one side to the other. Do the same with the other half. Stuff the loin with the cold stuffing, making sure to fill the loin evenly from one end to the other. Season the two pieces of loin with salt and pepper if you like. Wrap them in caul fat and butcher's twine. Saute the loin in butter or oil until golden brown and finish in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes. The temperature of the meat should be 120 degrees. The stuffing should be slightly warm. Let the veal rest for 10 minutes in a warm place before serving. We serve the loin sliced with spinach, simply sauteed in butter and pine nuts.

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH MOREL MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the chicken generously all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering and just starting to smoke, add the chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown all over, flipping halfway through, about 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate; set aside.
• Return the pan to medium heat and add the shallots and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until the shallots are soft and the garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, gently stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the mushrooms begin to release liquid, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Add the wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Add the broth and thyme and bring back to a boil. Return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up, along with any juices from the plate and cover with the lid slightly ajar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Swirl in the cream and return the mushroom mixture to the pan. Simmer (uncovered) over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on a serving plate, spoon the mushroom sauce over and sprinkle with chives.

ROAST LOIN OF VEAL WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the carrots, parsnips and leeks in a roasting pan and toss with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Place the veal over the vegetables. Season the meat with 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons of thyme and set aside, so the meat can come to room temperature while you assemble the gratin (see recipe below).
• Place the roast in the oven and cook until barely pink in the center, about 1 hour.
• Carefully remove the veal and the vegetables from the pan and tent with foil to keep warm. For the veal sauce, place the pan over medium-high heat and pour in the sherry and broth. Cook, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and whisk until just combined. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut the veal across into 1/2-inch thick slices. Divide the vegetables among 4 plates. Top with 2 slices of veal each and the sauce. Garnish with the remaining thyme. Serve immediately with the potato gratin (below).

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.

MOREL SAUCE

Steps:

• Place butter and minced shallot in a 1-quart sauce pot over medium heat. Cook until translucent. Add morels and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add white wine and reduce by two-thirds. Add heavy cream, turn down the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve with chicken breasts.

BUTTER ROASTED CARIBOU LOIN, MASHED POTATOES WITH ROASTED GARLIC AND BACON, SAUTEED VEGETABLES, WILD MUSHROOM SAUCE WITH CURRANT JELLY

Steps:

• Caribou Loin and Sauce: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put 2 1/2 ounces of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large saute pan and heat. Season the caribou with salt and pepper. Sear caribou over low heat. Remove the meat from the pan, add the wild mushrooms and shallots. After searing the meat, put it in a pan and cook in the oven for 15 minutes. It is very important that you served this meat rare or medium rare.
• Deglaze the pan with the red wine. Add the veal stock and the currant jelly. Reduce the mixture by half. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel the potatoes and boil for 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and mash. Place back in the pot with 1-1/2 ounce of butter, the mashed roasted garlic, the roasted bacon and the hot milk.
• Vegetables: Working in batches, in a large saute pan over high heat, melt butter and toss to heat vegetable through. Season with salt and pepper.
• Dressing of the plate: In a plate, place a quenelle of mashed potato, the blanched vegetables on the side and then the meat. Pour the sauce on the meat.
