Veal Sausage And Mushroom Skewers Recipes

VEAL SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
• Combine the veal and pork fatback with the shallot mixture, red pepper flakes, fennel seeds, coriander, sugar and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a large plastic zip-top bag and refrigerate overnight.
• At least 30 minutes before grinding the meat, place all of your tools (including the meat grinder parts, stand mixer bowl, stand mixer paddle attachment and sausage stuffer parts) in the freezer to chill.
• Using your meat grinder, grind the marinated meat mixture twice through the small die plate into the chilled bowl of the stand mixer. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, then return the mixture to the mixer and beat on medium speed using the chilled paddle attachment, 45 to 60 seconds. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Stuff the sausages (see Cook's Note) and, for best results, refrigerate overnight.
• Before cooking, pierce each sausage several times with a pin. Grill over medium heat until the center registers 150 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. (You can also pan-fry or broil the sausages.) Serve with cornichons, mustard and bread.
• If you don't have time to stuff sausage links, cook the sausage mixture loose in a skillet or form it into patties for grilling or pan-frying.

VEAL STEAKS WITH MUSHROOMS AS I LIKE IT!

Steps:

• First you have to prepare everything in advance - everything will be fast.
• Cut the mushrooms into thin leaves, grate the lemon zest, prepare the lemon juice, and mince garlic.
• Heat the butter (not all) and olive oil and fry (on strong fire) previously seasoned veal steaks until they turn brownish (about 4 min per side). Remove the steaks into warm environment (80-100°C stove) and put mushrooms into the frying pan.
• Add some butter and salt mushrooms a bit. Sauté mushrooms about 10 minutes; covered.
• Return the veal (with all juices) into pan; add garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced parsley leaves and wine into pan and sauté on heavy fire until alcohol evaporates (it takes 2-4 minutes).
• At the end add "buerre manie" - a French thing quite simple; melt butter and add flour (you can dry fry flour before to brown it a bit), stir, and than add into a meal to connect juices.
• Serve warm with mashed potato, cooked potato, rice, risotto Milanese or pasta. Cherry tomato salad with green lettuce is also nice salad. Of course, use the white wine to drink with the meal.

VEAL, SAUSAGE, AND MUSHROOM SKEWERS

Steps:

• 1 In a large bowl, combine the veal, oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and marinate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours. 2 Place a barbecue grill or broiler rack about 5 inches from the heat source. Preheat the grill or broiler. 3 Thread the veal, onion, mushrooms, sausage, and sage leaves alternately on 8 short skewers. 4 Grill or broil the skewers, turning them frequently, for 6 minutes or until browned on all sides and the sausages are cooked through. Serve hot with lemon wedges. From "1,000 Italian Recipes." Copyright 2004 by Michele Scicolone. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
