Veal Chops With Leeks Carrots And Parsnips Recipes

BRAISED VEAL SHANKS WITH CARROTS, PARSNIPS, AND TURNIPS

Steps:

• Season the veal with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet and sear the veal shanks over high heat on all sides until well browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the browned veal shanks from the skillet and place them in an ovenproof casserole. To the same skillet in which you browned the veal, add the diced vegetables, along with the whole garlic cloves, and saute them for 3 to 4 minutes.
• When the vegetables have begun to cook and wilt, add the tomato paste and combine thoroughly. Be careful not to burn the tomato paste. Add the white wine and the chicken or veal stock and bring to a boil. Carefully pour the vegetable liquid mixture over the veal shanks in the casserole and braise covered in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes. The veal should be fork tender, with the meat just beginning to separate from the bone when you remove them from the oven. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

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.)

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.

ROAST RIB OF BEEF WITH ROASTED CARROTS, LEEKS AND PARSNIPS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to gas 7, 220C, fan 200°C Make a paste with a beef stock cube and 1 tbsp oil. Rub this into the beef. Heat a thick-based frying pan on the hob and add the beef, fat-side down. Once the fat has rendered and turned golden brown, turn the beef to sear all sides. Remove the beef from the pan and place in a roasting tin.
• Return the pan (with the beef fat) to the heat. Add the leeks and cook until golden, then add the leeks to the roasting pan alongside the beef joint. Repeat this for the parsnips and carrots. Add the shallots straight to the roasting tin. Put the celery and sage in with the beef. Drizzle the fat from the pan over the joint and vegetables, and put the roasting tin on the hob for a few minutes to heat. For rare meat, transfer the joint to the oven and cook for 30-45 minutes (depending on your oven), turning the meat at the halfway stage.
• Remove the joint and vegetables from the roasting tin and place on a board or large plate to rest.
• Place the roasting tin on the hob and crumble a beef stock cube into the tin, adding a little water to deglaze. Mix thoroughly and transfer to a saucepan.
