Gorgonzola Veal Rolls With Fall Fruits In A Port Wine Sauce Recipes

GORGONZOLA VEAL ROLLS WITH FALL FRUITS IN A PORT WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare your fruit -- chop your apples, pears, apricots and cranberries and also chop your shallot.
• Remove your veal to take the chill off. Now this just takes one pan and goes quickly so get any other sides ready at this point. Wild rice is great and just cook away as you make the veal and sauce.
• Veal -- Salt and pepper both sides and stuff one side with the blue or gorgonzola cheese and a sprinkle of the fresh thyme and roll tightly. No need to add any more flavor to the veal, the sauce makes up for it. Seal with a tooth pick so they don't fall apart.
• Now, I don't want a heavy coating so I just moisten my hands with water to get the veal wet and then in a small plate or pie pan, add the flour and roll each piece of stuffed veal into the flour mix to cover well. I want a light crust for this.
• Sauteing -- Melt the butter and olive oil in a large saute pan. Saute the veal on each side until golden brown, it will not take long. Just a minute or two per side. The veal cooks very quickly and will continue to cook once off the heat. Remove the veal and cover with foil as you make the sauce. Maybe 9-10 minutes total on medium high heat.
• Sauce -- in the same pan you cooked the veal, on medium heat, add the shallot and cook a minute, then add the port wine, chicken broth to get up all the drippings. Add the fruit, thyme, rosemary and cook on a medium simmer until the dried fruit rehydrates and the fresh fruit cooks down. Just 4-5 minutes is all. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste is necessary.
• Well your side dish should be done, hopefully wild rice. So plate away -- rice, topped with 1 or 2 veal rolls and then top with the fruit sauce and ENJOY!

VEAL CHOPS WITH PORT GORGONZOLA SAUCE RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl big enough to hold all 4 chops. Add chops to marinade, and add water to almost cover chops. Cover with plastic wrap and marinade overnight. For the Port Sauce: Add olive oil to large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add onion, rosemary leaves and a good pinch of kosher salt, saute until onion begins to softened. Add veal trimmings and bacon and brown thoroughly. Add garlic, and combine until fragrant. Add port and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, remove chops from the marinade. Scrape off any solids, and pat chops dry. Drizzle chops with a small amount of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium high. Grill veal chops for 6-8 minutes per side. Rest for 5 minutes. To finish sauce, remove from heat and strain sauce. Return to pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce sauce to about 1/2 (your looking for a thicker consistency). When reduced, add cheese and stir to melt into sauce. Remove from heat, add butter and taste for seasoning.
