Veal Stew With Sauteed Artichokes Recipes

VEAL WITH ARTICHOKE, BLACK OLIVE AND MUSHROOM SAUTE

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender. Add the artichoke hearts and cook until heated through. Stir in the black olives and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Heat the remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the veal with salt and pepper and lightly coat with flour on both sides. Working in batches as necessary, saute the veal until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 1 minute per side. Divide the veal among 4 plates. Top with the artichoke mixture and serve immediately.

VEAL CUTLETS WITH SAUTEED BABY ARTICHOKES

Steps:

• Fill large bowl with cold water; add lemon juice. Cut off stem and top quarter from 1 artichoke. Bend back dark green outer leaves and snap off at base until pale green and yellow leaves remain. Quarter artichoke lengthwise; remove any purple-tipped leaves from center. Place in lemon water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
• Cook drained artichokes in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain well; set aside.
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add artichokes and sauté 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and crushed red pepper. Cook until tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in basil and lemon peel. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature. Rewarm before using.)
• Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Working in batches, add veal and cook until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer veal to plates. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with artichoke mixture.

BLUEPRINT FOR VEAL STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• In an oven proof casserole, heat, until very hot, half of the oil. In small batches brown the veal cubes on all sides. When one batch is done, add more oil if you need to and continue to brown until all the veal is done. Discard the fat in the casserole and replace it with the butter. Add the carrot, onion and celery, cover and simmer 5 minutes or until onions are translucent. Add the white wine and boil down for a minute or until alcohol has evaporated. Return the veal cubes to the casserole with garlic and add just enough broth to barely cover the veal. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the bouquet garni, put a buttered piece of parchment or brown paper on top of the meat, then a lid on the casserole and set in the oven. Cook for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender.
• Remove casserole from the oven and strain the contents through a sieve and the liquid into another saucepan; discard bouquet garni. Divide solids into 2 batches. Degrease the liquid and boil it down until reduced to 3 cups. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the liquid and add it to half of the meat. Return the other half of the veal to the remaining liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Thicken with beurre manie if you wish. Serve with rice, polenta or potatoes; garnish with parsley.

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.

VEAL STEW WITH ARTICHOKE HEARTS, FAVA BEANS, AND PEAS

Steps:

• Prepare sachet d'epice Place the aromatics on a large piece of cheesecloth, gather the edges to enclose, and tie with kitchen twine.
• Blanch favas Prepare an ice-water bath in a large bowl for shocking the beans (which stops the cooking and preserves their color). Drop the fava beans into a large pot of boiling salted water until bright green and just tender, about 2 minutes. Lift out the peas with a slotted spoon (or a spider) and plunge into the ice-water bath. Once they are thoroughly cool, drain and peel off the tough outer skins.
• Cook veal and artichokes Pour the wine into a large saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 minute (to cook off some of the alcohol). Add veal, water, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and skim the foam from the surface with a slotted spoon (veal produces more surface foam than other meats, so this step is important). Add herb sachet and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook, uncovered, 1 hour, skimming the surface frequently. Add artichokes to the pot, submerging them partially in the liquid. Cook until the artichokes and veal are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 20 to 30 minutes more, adding peas during last 3 minutes of cooking. Remove the sachet and squeeze out the liquid into the pot. Then strain the contents of the pot through a fine sieve into a bowl or large measuring cup, reserving veal, artichokes, and peas. You should have about 3 cups liquid.
• Thicken sauce Wipe out the pot and return it to the stove. First, make a roux by melting the butter over medium heat until foamy, swirling the pan to melt evenly, then whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Next, make a velouté by whisking the reserved liquid into the roux and bringing to a boil (again, always whisking), cooking until the mixture is smooth. (Classic culinary teaching would have you whisk cold stock into a hot roux, or vice versa, to prevent the sauce from forming lumps, but that isn't necessary as long as you whisk diligently.) Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
• Make liaison (optional) Whisk together the egg yolk, if using, and heavy cream, then temper by gradually whisking in a cup of the velouté (this will allow the egg to gently heat so it doesn't curdle). Now whisk everything back into the pot and cook over gentle heat until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, 1 to 2 minutes. (If you prefer, omit the egg and whisk the cream directly into the velouté in the pan.)
• Serve Return the veal, artichokes, and peas to the pot along with the peeled favas and cook gently to heat through, stirring. Season with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice and chopped dill or parsley to taste.
• Ingredients
• This stew is best made in spring when all the ingredients are in season, but in a pinch, substitute frozen peas, fava beans, and even artichoke hearts, adding all at the end, just to heat through.
• BLANQUETTE DE VEAU
• Omit fava beans, peas, and artichokes. Once the veal has cooked for 1 hour and 20 minutes, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 8 ounces small white button mushrooms and 6 ounces blanched and peeled pearl onions (page 31), tossing to combine. Pour in 1/4 cup stock from the stew and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are cooked through and the stock has reduced to a syrupy glaze, about 9 minutes. Finish with the liaison, then return veal to the pot along with the vegetables.
