Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 pounds slender asparagus spears, trimmed
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
2 cups frozen petite peas (about 9 ounces), thawed
3/4 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
3 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
6 3-ounce boneless veal round cutlets, each cut into 3 pieces

Steps:

  • Cook asparagus in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Place asparagus in large bowl of ice water to cool. Drain; pat dry.
  • Spray medium nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Heat skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté 1 minute. Add peas and sauté 2 minutes. Add broth. Bring to simmer. Transfer mixture to blender. Add 1 teaspoon tarragon. Purée until smooth, about 3 minutes. Season pea coulis with salt and pepper.
  • Pound each veal piece between sheets of plastic wrap to scant 1/4-inch thickness. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap asparagus in paper towels. Cover asparagus, pea coulis and veal separately and refrigerate.)
  • Spray 2 large nonstick skillets with nonstick spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add veal to skillets; sauté until brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer veal to platter. Tent with foil.
  • Divide asparagus and remaining 2 teaspoons tarragon between same 2 skillets. Sauté over medium-high heat until asparagus is heated through, about 2 minutes. Rewarm coulis in heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Spoon 3 tablespoons pea coulis onto each of 6 plates. Place veal atop coulis. Arrange asparagus alongside veal.
