Veal With Tomato Tapenade Recipes

SAUTEED VEAL CUTLETS WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO PUREE

Steps:

• Dredge the veal cutlets in the flour and season with salt, pepper and fresh sage. In large skillet set over moderately high heat and heat the oil and butter until hot. Add the veal cutlets and cook them for 2 minutes on each side or until just cooked. Transfer the veal to a plate. Add the wine to the skillet and reduce it by half. Add the broth and tomato puree and bring to a simmer. Return the veal cutlets to the pan and simmer for 2 to 3 more minutes, or until veal is heated through. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the fresh sage leaves.

VEAL CHOP MILANESE WITH TOMATO AND BASIL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Pound the veal (or have the butcher do this ahead of time) to a 1/4-inch thin and broad cutlet, leaving the bone still attached. Set aside while you prepare the breading setup. Put the flour on a dish large enough to dredge the veal on. Combine the eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt and pepper in a large bowl or dish with sides high enough to hold the liquid and veal chops.
• Next, combine the bread crumbs, parsley and Parmesan cheese in a large flat casserole so that the process of breading may be kept neat and tidy.
• Make the tomato vinaigrette by combining the diced tomato with the shredded basil leaves in a bowl. Stir in the lemon juice, whisk in the oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the 1/3 cup olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the veal cutlets one at a time, or if they are small enough and your pan is large enough, two at a time. As you saute the veal, brown one side and keep the veal warm in a 250 degree oven while the rest are cooked. Serve the veal with a generous spoonful of the Tomato Basil Vinaigrette over the top.

VEAL SHANKS WITH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In large, deep skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat, and saute the onions, carrots, leeks and celery for about 10 minutes, or until they are soft but not browned. Remove skillet from heat.
• In a separate skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Dredge the veal shanks in flour, and shake off excess. Brown them a few minutes on each side. Remove shanks and place them in the first skillet over the vegetables.
• Deglaze the empty browning skillet with white wine, and then reduce liquid by half. Pour this over the shanks. Put the skillet containing veal shanks back over the heat, and add remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Bring liquid to a boil; let it boil for 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Then test the meat; it should be tender.
• In a deep pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until done, 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness. Drain.
• Remove meat from the skillet, and keep it warm. Turn up heat, and reduce cooking liquid until it is fairly thick. Remove bay leaf, parsley sprigs, lemon strip and thyme sprigs. Pour sauce into a blender, and mix at low speed at first. Taste for seasoning. Then blend at high speed for about 10 seconds. Serve veal shanks with noodles on the side; pour sauce over both.

TAPENADE

Steps:

• Press the garlic into the lemon juice or if you don't have a garlic press, mince and put it into the lemon juice, while you prepare the other items.
• Put the rest of the ingredients into a food processor and process into a finely chopped paste.
• Put in a bowl and mix in the garlic, lemon juice and olive oil well.
• Serve with bread slices.

SUNDRIED TOMATO TAPENADE

Steps:

• Stir balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl; fold in sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, green olives, and garlic. Season with black pepper. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for flavors to blend, at least 2 hours to overnight.
• Arrange cream cheese halves on 2 serving dishes; spoon tapenade over cream cheese.

VEAL WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and, when it sizzles, tomatoes and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down, about 10 minutes, then add olives, and turn heat to low.
• Put about 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper, then dredge it in flour. Sauté as many slices as will comfortably fit in skillet, just until brown on both sides, 5 minutes or less. Remove to a plate, and keep warm in oven while sautéing remaining slices.
• Taste sauce, and adjust seasoning; spoon it over veal slices, and arrange lemon on top. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Dredge the veal in the flour, salt and pepper mixture.
• Dip in milk, then again in flour, set aside meat.
• Heat 1 tbsp of oil and 1 tbsp butter in large pan.
• Add the veal and cook until light brown on both sides.
• Remove veal and keep warm.
• Add the remaining oil and butter, the tomatoes, onion, garlic and wine to pan.
• Cook over moderate heat 5 minutes.
• Add the cream and cook over high until bubbly.
• Add veal to reheat.

VEAL CUTLETS WITH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper; dust with flour to coat lightly. Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add veal to skillet and sauté until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer veal to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to same skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with juices, basil, parsley, oregano and dried red pepper. Bring sauce to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until flavors blend and sauce thickens slightly, scraping up browned bits, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange cutlets atop sauce. Top each with cheese. Cover; simmer until veal is tender and cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
