Best Veal Roast With Fava Beans Recipes

PAN ROASTED DOUBLE VEAL RIB WITH BOUQUET OF VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Have a bowl filled with ice water ready. Trim the tough outer leaves and base from the artichokes. Place them in boiling water for about 10 minutes, until tender. Remove from the water and place them in bowl of ice water. Cut artichokes in 1/4 or 1/8ths and set aside.
• Place pearl onions in boiling water and blanch them for 3 minutes. Refresh them in ice water and set aside. Put shelled fava beans in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove them from boiling water and place them in ice water. Slip skins off the fava beans and set aside.
• Place shelled English peas in boiling water for 30 seconds. Remove them from boiling water and place them in ice water. When cold, remove from water and set aside. Repeat the blanching method for the asparagus, carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash. Remember to just blanch them until tender.
• Place scrubbed fingerling potatoes on baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil. Place in oven and roast for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. The potatoes should still be quite firm. Cut them into 1/2-inch dice and set aside.
• Roast the Veal: Place a 12-inch, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Season the veal chop on both sides with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to the pan and heat. Place the veal in the pan and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes. Turn the chop over and continue cooking on the other side for 4 more minutes. The meat should be well browned.
• Add mushrooms, artichokes, potatoes, roasted garlic, and pearl onions to the pan. Place the thyme and sage sprigs on top of the veal and place in the preheated oven. Roast the veal and vegetables for 12 minutes. Using a kitchen towel or oven mitt, remove the pan from the oven. Remove the veal from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Allow the veal to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Prepare the Sauce: Place the pan with the vegetables over high heat and saute the vegetables that were cooked with the veal for 1 minute. Add the Madeira and the stock. Reduce by 1/2 and add the peas, fava beans, asparagus, carrots, zucchini, and yellow squash. Add the butter (cut in small pieces) to the pan. Swirl the pan to incorporate the butter. Spoon the vegetables and sauce onto 2 warm dinner plates. Slice the veal and lay it over the vegetables. Serve and enjoy.

GRILLED VEAL WITH PANCETTA, FAVA BEANS AND PEARL ONIONS

Steps:

• Sauté pancetta in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels. Reduce heat to low, add onions, sprinkle with sugar and sauté until brown and tender, about 25 minutes. Transfer onions to bowl. Add broth, beans and arrowroot to skillet. Simmer until beans are tender, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer beans to onions in bowl. Cook liquid until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup Marsala and marjoram; return onions and beans to liquid. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.)
• Preheat barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush veal with remaining 2 tablespoons Marsala. Season with salt and pepper. Grill until just medium, approximately 3 minutes per side. Transfer veal to plates.
• Meanwhile, simmer sauce 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper; stir in pancetta. Spoon sauce over veal and serve immediately.

ROAST OF VEAL

Steps:

• Sprinkle the roast with the salt and pepper.
• Melt the butter in a heavy ovenproof saucepan or skillet. Add the roast and cook it over medium-to-low heat on top of the stove for 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is brown on all sides.
• Place in a preheated 425-degree oven. After 30 minutes, add the water and cook for 10 additional minutes. By then, the juices will have melted and a natural sauce formed.
• Let the roast stand for approximately 15 minutes to allow the meat to relax.
• At serving time, slice the roast and arrange a few slices on each of six plates. Spoon some of the natural juices over the meat and garnish each serving with a few glazed onions and two or three potato savonnettes.

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.

VEAL ROAST WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place roast on rack of a roasting pan; insert meat thermometer. Combine oil, lemon juice, mustard, nutmeg, and garlic, brush over roast, reserving remaining mixture. Bake at 325F for 2 hours.
• Remove from oven and remove veal from roasting pan, remove rack, drain fat, and place veal directly in pan. Place vegetables around veal. Pour remaining oil mixture and chicken broth over veal. Bake an additional 30 minutes or until thermometer measures 170°F.
• Arrange meat on aplatter, and spoon vegetables around meat. Serve with pan drippings.

ROASTED LOIN OF VEAL WITH GARLIC, SHALLOTS, AND MUSTARD GRAVY

Steps:

• Season the veal and salt and pepper, spread the mustard over the top and sides, and cover the veal with the fatback. Arrange the veal, the garlic, and the shallot in a roasting pan just large enough to hold them, add the wine, and roast the veal in the middle of a preheated 325°F. oven, basting every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Discard the fatback and roast the veal for 15 to 20 minutes more, or until it registers 150°F. on a meat thermometer. Transfer the veal to a cutting board and let it stand, covered loosely with foil, for 15 minutes. Transfer the garlic and the shallots with a slotted spoon to a bowl, toss them with 2 teaspoons of the chopped tarragon, and keep them warm, covered with foil.
• While the veal is standing, skim the fat from the pan juices, add the water, and deglaze the pan over high heat, scraping up the brown bits, until the mixture is reduced by half. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl and season the gravy with salt and pepper. Cut the veal into 1/2-inch-thick slices, arrange the slices on a platter, and scatter the garlic and the shallots around them. Nap the veal with some of the gravy, sprinkle it with the remaining 1 teaspoon chopped tarragon, and garnish the platter with the tarragon strips. Serve the remaining gravy separately.

BRAISED VEAL SHANKS WITH FAVA BEAN PUREE

Steps:

• To make the veal, heat the olive oil in a large, deep, heavy-bottom skillet. Add the veal shanks and cook until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the shanks from the skillet and set aside. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring constantly, until browned, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
• Return the shanks to the pan and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer slowly for 1 hour. Add the carrots. Continue cooking until the meat is very tender, about 1 hour more. Remove the shanks from the skillet. Increase the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, salt and pepper and return the shanks to the skillet. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
• Meanwhile, to make the puree, place the fava beans in a medium-size saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid. Place the beans in a food processor. Add 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, the cream and the olive oil. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place 1 shank on each of 4 plates and spoon the sauce over. Divide the puree among the plates and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
