Veal Patties With Gravy Recipes

JäGERSCHNITZEL (PORK OR VEAL CUTLETS IN MUSHROOM GRAVY)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
• Pound cutlets with a meat tenderizer to flatten them; season cutlets with salt and pepper, dredge them in beaten eggs and then coat evenly with the bread crumbs that have been combined with the flour.
• Place cutlets into skillet and fry until golden brown (1-2 minutes on each side); do NOT turn more than once as you will end up losing the coating if you turn too often.
• Remove the meat from the skillet and drain on paper towels; keep the meat warm in the oven while you make the gravy.
• Sauté bacon and onions until golden brown; add tomato paste and mushrooms, and sauté over a low heat until mushrooms are cooked; add wine, water and seasonings; let simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the sour cream; pour gravy over Schnitzel just before serving.

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.

VEAL PATTIES WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Melt butter and saute onion until golden brown. Combine onions with remaining ingredients, using hands to mix thoroughly. Form into 4 equal sized patties, about 3/4" thick. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in large skillet. Brown patties over medium heat until cooked thoroughly, turning once. Remove and keep warm. In same skillet, add 2 Tbsp. flour and cook for a minute or two to brown. Slowly add beef broth and wine, mixing over medium low heat until thickened. Add veal patties and serve. Makes 4 servings.

VEAL PARM WITH SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• For the sauce and pasta: Add the pancetta and a bit of olive oil to a medium pot over low heat. Cook to render the fat, about 10 minutes. Add the onions and season with a large pinch of salt and a small pinch of crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes, then fill the can halfway with water and add that. Season to taste. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring and tasting occasionally and adjusting the seasoning as needed, until thick, at least 30 minutes. (If the sauce reduces too much, add additional water.)
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
• For the veal: Line 2 baking sheets with wire racks and set aside. Beat the eggs in a shallow dish with a splash of water. Add the panko and Parmesan to another shallow dish. Add the flour to a third shallow dish. Heavily sprinkle the veal with salt. Dredge the veal pieces in the flour and shake off excess. Dip in the egg mixture, then coat both sides with breadcrumbs. Place on one of the rack-lined baking sheets.
• Preheat the broiler with the rack on the highest setting.
• Fill a medium pan with olive oil about 1/4-inch deep and heat over medium-high. Brown 1 piece of veal until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Blot on a paper towel to remove the excess oil and place on the clean cooling rack. Repeat with the second piece of veal.
• Evenly coat each veal piece with a few spoonfuls of sauce, a sprinkle of Parmesan and an even layer of mozzarella. Broil until the cheese has browned, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Discard the oil in the veal pan and wipe clean with a paper towel. Add the pasta and the remaining sauce to the pan; toss to combine. Sprinkle with Parmesan and drizzle with olive oil. Toss again to fully coat the pasta.
• Twirl half the pasta on a plate using tongs, then top with some sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Place the veal next to the pasta and garnish with the basil. Serve with a small ramekin of extra sauce topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan. Repeat to make one more serving.

SCANDINAVIAN PORK PATTIES WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• In a small mixer bowl at low speed, beat pork, 1/4 cup flour, egg, minced onion, salt, coriander, sage, thyme, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper just until blended. Slowly add 1/2 cup water and beat until mixture is smooth and light.
• In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the margarine until foam subsides. Drop about 1/4 cup of the pork mixture at a time into skillet and shape into patties about 1/2 -inch thick. Sauté 7 minutes or until a rich medium-brown crust forms. Turn patties and cook 7 minutes longer or until no longer pink in the center. Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

• In the same saucepan over medium heat, melt remaining 2 tablespoons margarine. Add 2 tablespoons flour. Cook and stir 1 minute or until lightly browned. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water, bouillon granules, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Stirring, bring to a boil and boil 3 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Return onion and mushrooms. Stir in sour cream until blended. Cook over low heat just until heated through (do not boil).
• Serve with potatoes. Pass gravy separately.

VEAL WITH SHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Season veal with salt and pepper. Dredge veal in flour, shaking off excess. Add veal to skillet in batches and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Transfer veal to platter. Cover with foil and keep warm.
• Add broths, Sherry, lemon juice, garlic and Worcestershire sauce to same skillet. Bring to boil over high heat, scraping up any browned bits from skillet. Cook until sauce is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Pour sauce over veal. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

VEAL PATTIES POJARSKI

Steps:

• Have the veal ground twice by the butcher, or use a food processor to give the texture of twice-ground veal.
• Place the veal in a mixing bowl, and chill it in refrigerator until very cold.
• Remove the chilled veal from the refrigerator and add the nutmeg, salt, pepper, cream and three-quarters of the bread crumbs. Blend well. Beat briskly in a circular motion with a wooden spoon until well blended and smooth.
• Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape into patties about 3/4-inch thick. Coat entirely with the remaining bread crumbs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the patties in one layer without crowding. Brown the patties lightly over medium heat for about 5 minutes, and turn. Continue browning on the other side until the meat is cooked through without becoming dry. Do not overcook.
• Transfer to a warm plate and wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining butter and cook it until it is foamy. Continue cooking until the butter is a hazelnut color. Add the lemon juice and pour over each patty.

VEAL IN ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• Cut veal into serving pieces and roll in flour. Brown quickly on both sides in butter in a heavy skillet.
• Remove veal and brown onion. Return veal to skillet with remaining ingredients.
• Cover and simmer 30 minutes.

VEAL OR TURKEY BURGERS W/ONION GRAVY (LOW FAT!)

Steps:

• Season the meat with salt and pepper to taste. Weigh out 4 oz/125 gm of meat and shape into a pattie. Do this with the remaining meat. Place patties on a platter, cover with plastic wrap/cling film and set aside.
• Pour water into a large fry pan/skillet over medium high heat. Add stock cubes (use beef cubes for veal, chicken cubes for turkey), onions and mushrooms. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to simmer. Cook until onions are just about cooked. You may need to add more water as the veggies cook as you want to have about 2 cups worth of gravy at the end.
• Gently place the burgers in the pan with the veggies and poach for about 5-7 minutes on each side, pressing down with a spatula to flatten a bit. Cook until juices run clear. Remove the cooked burgers to a plate and keep warm. Return sauce to a boil and add more water if necessary.
• Put cold water into a small cup or bowl and stir in cornstarch with a fork or whisk. Slowly pour into the sauce in the pan and thicken.
• Place rice or noodles on plate, place two burgers on top, and pour gravy over burgers.
