CLASSIC MORNAY SAUCE
Steps:
- Gather your ingredients.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat.
- Stir in the flour to form a roux . Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until most of the water has cooked out (it will bubble less), which also allows the raw flour taste to cook off.
- Slowly add 2 1/2 cups of the warm milk while whisking or stirring constantly so that the liquid is incorporated into the roux without forming lumps.
- Stick the cloves into the onion and add to the sauce along with the bay leaf. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it's reduced by about 20 percent.
- Remove the bay leaf and the onion and strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer or a colander lined with cheesecloth. Make sure you retrieve all of the cloves.
- Return the sauce to the pan. Add the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses and stir until the cheese has melted.
- Remove from heat, stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and adjust the consistency with some or all of the remaining 1/2 cup milk if necessary. Serve right away with pasta, chicken, or fish. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add veal chops, and sear until golden, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and keep warm.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pan, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, and cook, tossing occasionally, until they have released all of their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the wine, and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of pan with a wooden spoon, until the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the stock and cream, return chops to pan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently 30 minutes. Continue cooking, uncovered, until meat is very tender and sauce has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large saucepan of cold, salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer gently until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; pass potatoes through a potato ricer, and return to saucepan. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the milk, and season with salt and pepper. Cover, and set aside until ready to serve.
- Pour warm sauce over the chops and mashed potatoes, and serve with greens on the side.
