EASY VEAL ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
• Prepare veal: Rub the meat dry with a kitchen towel. Sprinkle it with salt, pepper, and thyme, and rub it well.
• Prepare vegetables: Chop the onions and the garlic and set them aside. Chop the celery, tomatoes, and carrots and set them aside in a separate bowl.
• Sear the meat: Heat the oil in a Dutch oven. Sear the veal all over, about 3 minutes per side. Don't forget to sear the sides of the meat as well.
• Add onions and garlic and cook them for about 2 minutes, stirring. Add celery, tomatoes, and carrots, and cook for another 3 minutes.
• Roast: Add the chicken stock and ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt. Bring to a gentle boil and cover. Place the Dutch oven in the oven and cook for 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours until the internal temperature reaches 72°C/ 160°F.
• Rest: Remove the veal from the pot and let it rest while you finish the sauce.
• Sauce: Add a little white balsamic to the vegetables. Blend the sauce until smooth.
• Adjust the taste with more salt, black pepper, and more vinegar if required.
• Slice the roast and serve immediately with the sauce.

VEAL ROAST WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place roast on rack of a roasting pan; insert meat thermometer. Combine oil, lemon juice, mustard, nutmeg, and garlic, brush over roast, reserving remaining mixture. Bake at 325F for 2 hours.
• Remove from oven and remove veal from roasting pan, remove rack, drain fat, and place veal directly in pan. Place vegetables around veal. Pour remaining oil mixture and chicken broth over veal. Bake an additional 30 minutes or until thermometer measures 170°F.
• Arrange meat on aplatter, and spoon vegetables around meat. Serve with pan drippings.

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 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).

BRAISED VEAL SHANKS WITH FAVA BEAN PUREE

Steps:

• To make the veal, heat the olive oil in a large, deep, heavy-bottom skillet. Add the veal shanks and cook until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the shanks from the skillet and set aside. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring constantly, until browned, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
• Return the shanks to the pan and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer slowly for 1 hour. Add the carrots. Continue cooking until the meat is very tender, about 1 hour more. Remove the shanks from the skillet. Increase the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, salt and pepper and return the shanks to the skillet. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
• Meanwhile, to make the puree, place the fava beans in a medium-size saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid. Place the beans in a food processor. Add 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, the cream and the olive oil. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place 1 shank on each of 4 plates and spoon the sauce over. Divide the puree among the plates and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
