Lemon And Veal Parcel Recipes

VEAL WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• Pour the flour mixture on a plate, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the scaloppini in the flour and shake off the excess, set aside. Melt butter and olive oil together in a skillet over medium fire. Add scaloppini to skillet and brown on both sides. Set aside until all the veal has been cooked. After the veal has been removed from the pan, add the chicken stock to the pan over high heat and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen the brown bits. Cook until the liquid has thickened. Straining the liquid may be necessary to remove the larger pieces of the scrapings. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, capers, lemon juice and parsley to sauce. Stir over a high heat about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over the veal. Garnish with sliced lemons and serve.

LEMON VEAL, WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS

Steps:

• Trim the veal into one-and-a-half-inch cubes. Dredge lightly with flour.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large casserole about 12 inches in diameter. Brown the veal pieces. Add the onion and one garlic clove, minced, thyme, one-half cup chicken stock and white wine. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
• Add the carrots and artichoke hearts and cook until almost tender. If necessary at this point add more stock. Add the mushrooms and cook 15 minutes more.
• In a small bowl beat the egg yolk. Crush the remaining clove of garlic with a mortar and pestle, adding a little salt. Add the egg yolk and beat with a fork. Pour in lemon juice and mix thoroughly. Ladle a spoonful of the cooking juices from the casserole into the egg mixture. Mix well. Add the mixture to the casserole and cook over very low heat for a minute, stirring. Do not overheat or the mixture will curdle.
• Remove from heat, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
