Veal Meatballs With Tarragon Recipes

VEAL MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a small bowl soak the bread cubes in the water and wine, then squeeze dry. In a large bowl combine the bread cubes and the remaining ingredients except the Essence, breadcrumbs and olive oil, mixing with your hands until smooth. Cover and chill for half an hour.
• Season the bread crumbs with Essence in a shallow bowl. Shape the veal mixture into 1-inch balls and coat evenly with the bread crumbs. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, saute the meatballs in batches in the oil, turning to brown evenly on all sides. Repeat until all meatballs are cooked. Serve hot with Kicked-Up Tzatziki Sauce.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

• In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to marry.

THE BEST MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.)

VEAL CUTLETS WITH TARRAGON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the flour with salt & pepper and use to dust the veal cutlets, then set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the shallot and mushrooms for 5 minutes. Add the cutlets and cook over high heat for about 1½ minutes on each side. Pour the Marsala or sherry and cook until reduced by half.
• Use a spatula to remove the veal cutlets from the pan. Stir the crème fraîche, tarragon and seasoning into the juices remaining in the pan and simmer gently for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce is thick and creamy. If the sauce seems to be too thick, add 2 tbl water.
• Return the cutlets to the pan and heat through for 1 minute before serving.

VEAL IN TARRAGON MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place mushrooms, shallot and broth in a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish with a tightly fitting lid. Cook, covered, at 100 percent power in a high-power oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and uncover. Stir in vermouth. Stir cornstarch and water together in a small dish. Stir into mushroom mixture. Let stand until cool. Dish can be prepared several hours ahead up to this point. Do not refrigerate.
• Nestle the veal into the sauce, with each medallion against the edge of the dish. Sprinkle the peas around the veal. Scatter the tarragon over all. Cook, covered, at 50 percent power for 12 minutes 30 seconds. Meanwhile, cook noodles. Drain and return them to the pan. Toss with butter and keep warm. Remove veal from oven and uncover. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over noodles.

VEAL MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the olive oil into a 9 × 13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add the onions and salt. Cook, stirring frequently until the onions just start to turn translucent and begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a plate and place in the refrigerator to cool.
• Combine the cooled onions with the ground veal, eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan, carrots, celery, parsley, oregano, and pepper in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
• Roll the mixture into round, golf ball-size meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches), making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
• Roast for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 165°F.
• Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.
