Veal With Leek And Roquefort Sauce Recipes

VEAL CHOPS WITH ROQUEFORT BUTTER

Steps:

• Place the butter and Roquefort cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until smooth. Add the scallions and mix until combined. Cut a strip of parchment paper 4 1/2 inches wide and place the mixture on the short end of the paper. Roll into a log about 1 inch in diameter, rolling the parchment paper around the butter mixture. Chill.
• Sprinkle both sides of the veal chops generously with salt and pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals. When the coals are hot, grill the chops for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, until almost cooked through. Remove to a platter and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Serve with 1 or 2 slices of cold Roquefort butter on each chop.

VEAL WITH LEEK AND ROQUEFORT SAUCE

Steps:

• For sauce: melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks, sugar and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until liquid evaporates and leeks begin to soften, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes; do not brown. Transfer all but 1 cup leek mixture to bowl and reserve for garnish. Stir remaining leeks, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until leeks are very soft and lightly caramelized, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
• Puree caramelized leeks and stock in blender until smooth. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover reserved leeks and sauce separately and refrigerate.)
• For veal: Preheat broiler. Season veal with thyme and pepper. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add veal and cook until just pink inside, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plate and cover to keep warm. Add brandy to skillet and cook until liquid is almost evaporated, scraping up any browned bits. Add cream and leek sauce and bring to simmer. Whisk in 6 tablespoons butter 1 piece at a time. Add cheese and any accumulated meat juices and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Divide sauce among broilerproof plates. Top with veal and sprinkle reserved leeks over. Broil until leeks are heated through, about 1 minute.

VEAL AND LEEK SCALOPPINE

Steps:

• Blanch leek in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes or until tender, then drain on absorbent paper.
• Place veal schnitzels on a work surface and flatten with a meat mallet until thin.
• Cover half of each schnitzel with leek, top leek with a slice of prosciutto and some provolone, fold other half of schnitzel over filling and secure with a toothpick.
• Toss veal parcels in seasoned flour and shake away excess.
• Heal olive oil in pan and cook veal parcels in batches, over medium heat for 2-3 minutes each side or until browned and cooked through.
• Remove veal parcels from pan and rest in a warm place.
• Add white wine and chicken stock to pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 1-2 minutes, then gradually add butter, whisking well, return veal to pan and turn to coat in sauce.
• Serve veal drizzled with sauce and with Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad (see my recipes).

VEAL WITH DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a heavy three-quart casserole. Add the veal and sear it until it is lightly browned. Remove the veal from the pan.
• Add the shallots and garlic and cook over low heat until they are soft but not brown. Add the wine and stock and cook over high heat, scraping the pan. Cook until the liquid is reduced by about half.
• Return the veal to the pan, season with salt and pepper and baste with the pan juices. Stir in the cream and half the dill. Cover and simmer for about one hour, until the veal is fork tender. If, toward the end of cooking, too much of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, add a little more stock or wine.
• Check seasonings again and stir in the remaining dill and the lemon juice. Serve at once.
