FAMILY-STYLE VEAL ROAST

Steps:

• Mix 2 tablespoons garlic, 2 tablespoons rosemary, 1 tablespoon thyme and lemon peel in bowl. Rub over veal. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover; chill overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in heavy 8 1/2- to 10-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add veal; brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer veal to roasting pan. Add ribs and ham hocks to pot; brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to same pan. Add sausage to pot; sauté until brown, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to same pan. Add onions and 1 tablespoon garlic to pot. Sauté over low heat 5 minutes. Add carrots, broth, wine, bay leaves, caraway, 1 tablespoon rosemary and 1 tablespoon thyme. Bring to boil. Return meats to pot. Cover; bake until veal is tender, about 2 hours.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer meats and vegetables to large platter. Cut off string from veal. Slice veal; place on platter. Tent with foil. Boil juices in pot until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Spoon some juices over meat and vegetables. Serve, passing remaining juices separately.

POT-ROAST VEAL WITH NEW-SEASON CARROTS & ORANGE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Stud the gaps in the veal joint with the sliced garlic and some thyme, then season well.
• Heat oil and butter in a deep flameproof casserole dish and spend a good 15 mins slowly sizzling the veal until brown all over. Remove the joint to a plate and add the carrots, shallot and icing sugar, then cook for 5 mins until everything is slightly caramelised. Lift out the carrots but leave everything else in the dish. Add the rest of the thyme, bashed garlic and the pared orange zest. Nestle the veal back in the dish and pour over the wine, then the stock. Cover and put in the oven for 1 hr.
• Remove the dish from the oven, uncover, and scatter the carrots around the meat. Return the dish to the oven for 1 hr, uncovered. Cook until the meat is very tender, then leave to cool slightly. Lift the meat onto a board and carve into slices. Serve with the juices from the dish and the tender carrots.

VEAL ROAST BLANQUETTE

Steps:

• In an 8 quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown roast on all sides. Add thyme and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.
• To the pot, add carrots, potatoes and onions. Cover, and simmer 30 minutes. Toss in mushrooms. Cover, and simmer 15 minutes, or until vegetables and veal are tender. Remove roast and vegetables, and keep warm.
• In a cup, stir flour and 2 tablespoons water until blended with no lumps. Gradually stir into liquid in Dutch oven. Cook, stirring constantly, until gravy is slightly thickened. Stir in peas, and heat through.
• In a small bowl, beat egg yolks. Stir in a small amount of hot gravy. Slowly pour egg yolk mixture back into gravy, whisking until thickened. DO NOT BOIL! To serve, pour some gravy over the veal and vegetables. Serve remaining gravy in a gravy boat.

STUFFED VEAL ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place the mushrooms, the 1/2-box defrosted spinach, leaves from the rosemary sprigs, olives, orange zest, and lemon zest into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse to combine to a paste.
• Untie the roast. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing paste evenly over the surface of the veal, generously covering it.
• Reroll the roast and tie it just tightly enough to secure; don't tie too tightly or the filling will all ooze out. The filling will be visible.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the veal roast and sear on all sides until the meat is a deep golden-brown. Place the seared roast into a roasting pan.
• In a small bowl, mix the honey, apricot preserves, and mustard. Rub all the meat surfaces with a thick coating of the apricot-honey mixture, reserving some mixture. Bake for 1 hour, covered. Remove the roast from the oven and baste with remaining apricot-honey mixture. Return to the oven, uncovered, for 15 more minutes. Allow the roast to stand for 10 minutes before slicing. The roast should be juicy and slightly pink in the center.
