Veal With Tomatoes And Balsamic Vinegar Recipes

VEAL MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the veal: To pound the veal chops, line a cutting board with plastic wrap and place a chop on top. Place another piece of plastic wrap over the chop making sure it's completely covered. Use a meat mallet to pound the veal evenly, making sure the middle and the edges are the same size, about 1/2 inch in thickness. Remove plastic from the top and set the pounded chop aside; repeat with the rest of the chops.
• Set up 3 shallow baking dishes, one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and the third with the breadcrumbs, parsley and Parmesan. Season the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs generously with salt and pepper. Season each veal chop with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge a chop in the flour. Shake off any excess flour and then dip it into the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumbs. Once the chop is in the breadcrumbs, use your hand to scoop the crumbs up and over the meat and press to make sure it adheres and evenly coats the chop. Repeat the breading procedure with the remaining chops.
• Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup blended oil. When the oil is hot, add two of the breaded chops to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown, then turn the chops gently with tongs and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes on the other side. Lower the heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter is almost brown, drizzle the juice of 1 lemon into the pan and over the crisp veal. Remove the chops and place them on a sheet pan. Drizzle the pan drippings over the veal. Repeat with the remaining 1/4 cup oil, remaining veal chops, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remaining lemon juice.
• For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic and vinegar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• For the salad: In a medium bowl, combine the fennel, radishes, olives and tomatoes. Toss with a few spoonfuls of vinaigrette. Add the arugula just before serving and toss again.
• To serve: Place a veal chop on a serving plate and add some salad on top. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and some Parmesan shavings. Repeat with remaining veal, salad and Parmesan and serve.

VEAL WITH TOMATOES AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a heavy flameproof casserole. Add the veal in batches and lightly brown over high heat, taking care not to crowd the meat in the pan. As the pieces are browned, remove them and place in a bowl.
• Add the remaining olive oil and the onion to the casserole, lower the heat and lightly brown the onion. Stir in 2/3 cup of the stock, 3 tablespoons of the vinegar and 1/2 cup of the tomatoes. Add 1 teaspoon of the rosemary leaves.
• Return the veal to the casserole along with any juices. Cover and simmer until the meat is tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. If necessary, add a little more stock during the cooking. The stew can be prepared up to this point 2 days ahead and refrigerated, or frozen for later use.
• Up to 2 hours before serving, reheat the stew. Stir in the remaining chopped tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and, if necessary, some additional stock. The stew should be quite moist. Add the remaining rosemary leaves, bring to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside, covered, until ready to serve. Just before serving, bring the stew to a simmer again, then transfer it to a serving dish and garnish with the fresh rosemary sprigs.

VEAL CHOPS AND BALSAMIC-THYME ROASTED TOMATOES AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Place the portobello mushrooms and plum tomatoes on a rimmed cookie sheet. Season with salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, and the thyme; toss in the seasonings to coat thoroughly. Arrange the mushrooms gill side up and the tomatoes flesh side up. Put them in the oven and roast for 12 minutes, or until cooked through. Once roasted, remove from the oven, thinly slice the mushrooms, and cut the plum tomatoes in half again. Reserve any pan juices.
• While the mushrooms and tomatoes are roasting, start the veal chops. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO (twice around the pan). Liberally season the veal chops with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is screaming hot and you see the first wafts of smoke rising, add the chops to the hot skillet and cook on the first side for 5 minutes. Resist the temptation to move the chops around in the pan; you want a nice brown crust on them and messing with them won't help you get there. Before flipping the chops, reduce the heat to medium. Flip, and cook them on the second side for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the desired doneness. Remove the chops from the pan and let them rest, tented with aluminum foil, for about 5 minutes.
• While the veal chops are resting, return the skillet to medium-high heat, add the shallots, and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and the chicken stock. Bring up to a simmer and reduce by half, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and add the butter, stirring with a spoon until the butter has completely melted. Add the parsley and the roasted sliced mushrooms and roasted chopped tomatoes along with any pan juices, and stir to combine. Serve the chops with the balsamic-thyme roasted tomatoes and mushrooms, and with some crusty bread.

VEAL ROLLS WITH PECORINO AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Combine pecorino Romano, rosemary, capers and garlic in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place veal scallops in single layer on work surface. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place 1 ham slice atop each veal slice. Sprinkle cheese mixture atop ham, dividing equally. Fold in long sides, covering 1/2 inch of filling on each side. Starting at 1 short end, roll up as for jelly roll. Fasten with toothpicks.
• Melt butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add veal rolls; sauté until brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Add wine to skillet; boil until liquid is reduced by half and veal is cooked through, turning once, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer veal to platter. Add vinegar to skillet; boil until sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Remove toothpicks from veal. Pour sauce over veal and serve.

VEAL WITH TOMATOES, OLIVES AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add garlic and, when it sizzles, tomatoes and salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down, about 10 minutes, then add olives, and turn heat to low.
• Put about 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper, then dredge it in flour. Sauté as many slices as will comfortably fit in skillet, just until brown on both sides, 5 minutes or less. Remove to a plate, and keep warm in oven while sautéing remaining slices.
• Taste sauce, and adjust seasoning; spoon it over veal slices, and arrange lemon on top. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
