Best Veal With Chanterelles Recipes

VEAL SHANK WITH SHALLOTS AND CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Peel at least one layer of membrane from the veal shank. Heat butter in an ovenproof casserole or Dutch oven large enough to hold the veal. Add shallots and brown over medium-high heat. Remove and reserve. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Dust veal with flour and add to casserole. Lightly brown on all sides. Add garlic, mushrooms, cider, stock and thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover and place in oven for 1 hour.
• Turn veal, add shallots and continue cooking, covered, until veal is tender, another hour or so. Transfer veal to a deep serving platter. Put casserole on the stove over medium heat and add lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon shallots, mushrooms and sauce around meat. Carve veal, slicing more or less parallel to the bone, and serve with sauce and vegetables.

VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH ASPARAGUS AND CHANTERELLE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium pot of boiling salted water blanch the asparagus for 1 minute. Plunge the hot asparagus in ice water to stop the cooking and to preserve the green color. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat add the unsalted butter and garlic and cook until fragrant, but not brown. Add the mushrooms and saute until golden brown. Turn the heat to high and add the vermouth. Add the cream and cook until reduced by 1/2, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Keep chanterelle sauce warm. Cut the veal scaloppine in 1/2 and season generously with salt and pepper. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Lay a slice of provolone and 2 pieces of blanched asparagus on the veal. Roll the veal scaloppine around the provolone and asparagus and dredge lightly in the seasoned flour. In an large skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter and olive oil. Place 3 rolls in the skillet, seam side down, and cook for 30 seconds. Turn the rolls over and sear the other side for 30 seconds. Transfer to a baking sheet and continue searing the rest of the rolls. Bake for about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve with the chanterelle sauce.

VEAL SCALLOPS, WITH CHANTERELLES

Steps:

• Pat the veal scallops dry with paper towels. Dredge lightly with flour and set aside.
• Melt one tablespoon of the butter in a large frying pan and gently fry the garlic for one minute. Add the veal (in two batches if necessary) and brown very lightly on each side. (The veal must not overcook - it should be pink in the middle.) Remove and keep warm.
• Briskly rinse the chanterelles under cold running water, making sure you remove all the grit. Slice any large ones. Add the chanterelles to the pan with remaining tablespoon of butter and cook for five minutes. Add the creme fraiche and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper. Cook another five minutes.
• Return the scallops to the pan, heat through, correct seasoning and serve.

VEAL MEDALLIONS, CHANTERELLES AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Cut the base of the stems of the chanterelles. If the mushrooms are very gritty, rinse them quickly under cold running water and pat them dry. Otherwise, clean them very carefully with a soft paint or pastry brush. Cut the large mushrooms into bite-size pieces, leave the smaller ones whole.
• Cook the noodles in boiling salted water until done (about eight minutes).
• While the noodles are cooking, melt one tablespoon of butter with the oil in a frying pan. Brown the veal medallions on both sides. Turn down heat to moderate and add the chanterelles. Add the wine, stirring well, and cover. Cook for five minutes.
• Drain the noodles, toss them in a bowl with remaining tablespoon butter and keep warm.
• Remove the medallions from the pan (at this stage they should be pink in the middle; leave them in longer if they should be more well done, otherwise remove them to a heated plate and keep them warm in a low oven). Add the cream, salt and pepper to the frying pan and bring to boil, scraping up any cooking residue on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat.
• Place a serving of noodles on each of two plates. Place two medallions on top of each serving. Spoon the sauce on top, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
