We used to put strips of salami, a sliced egg and pieces of Provolone cheese inside the veal. That would give it a really nice taste.

Time 3h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (5-pound) boned breast of veal with pocket
Salt and pepper to taste
1 sweet potato (8 ounces), peeled and diced
1 small white potato (4 ounces), peeled and diced
1 small carrot, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 pound ground pork
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup cooked rice
1/4 cup grated Locatelli
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
Olive oil, to taste
Paprika, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Rinse the veal and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Make the stuffing: In a saucepan of boiling salted water, blanch the sweet potato, white potato, carrot, celery, and onion for 2 minutes. Drain and pat dry. In a skillet set over moderate heat, cook the pork in 1 tablespoon of oil, stirring, just until no longer pink. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Add the blanched vegetables, the remaining oil, rice, cheese, eggs, parsley, and salt and pepper to the pork and stir to combine well. Fill the pocket with stuffing and seal by sewing up or securing with toothpicks. Arrange the veal on a rack in a roasting pan, brush with oil, and season with paprika, salt and pepper. Add enough water to measure 1 inch in the pan and roast, covered with foil, for 2 1/2 hours. Remove the foil and continue to roast, basting with pan juices, for 30 minutes more. Transfer the veal to a cutting board and let it stand, loosely covered, for 10 minutes before slicing.

Time 4h10m

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 6-pound veal breast
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large stalk celery, finely chopped
1 pound white bread, torn in 1-inch pieces
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup finely-minced parsley
6 cups chicken stock
Sweet paprika
Arrowroot or butter, to thicken (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut a pocket in veal breast, or ask your butcher to do it for you. Season pocket with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Set aside veal to reach room temperature.
  • In a skillet melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery and saute until onion is tender and golden. In a bowl combine bread and eggs; add onion mixture, parsley and 1 cup of the chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper; mix well. Stuffing should be fairly wet; add a little more chicken stock if needed.
  • Using a long spoon, reach deep inside veal pocket to distribute stuffing evenly. Use a trussing needle and string to sew up pocket. Season roast on all sides with salt and pepper and liberally sprinkle top with paprika. Place in roasting pan, top side up, and roast 3 1/2 hours in all. Baste top with 1/2 cup chicken stock every 45 minutes.
  • Remove roast to a carving board and let sit, loosely covered, 15 minutes while you prepare sauce. Set roasting pan over medium-high heat and add remaining 3 cups chicken stock. Deglaze pan, scraping up browned bits and incorporating them into stock. Boil until stock reduces to 1 1/2 cups. If desired, thicken sauce with arrowroot or butter, or leave as is. Cut center portion of veal breast along chine bone separations into 6 servings. Spoon gravy over each portion.

Extra-virgin olive oil
7 cloves garlic, 4 whole and 3 smashed and finely chopped
Crushed red pepper
1 1/2 pounds fresh baby spinach
Kosher salt
2 pounds assorted mushrooms, sliced thin, such as shiitake, cremini and oyster work well
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano
One 3 to 4-pound veal breast
5 to 8 slices prosciutto
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, picked and finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine
4 cups chicken stock
2 bay leaves
1 fresh thyme bundle

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Coat a large straight-sided saute pan with olive oil. Smash 2 of the whole garlic cloves with the heel of your hand and toss them into the pan with a pinch of crushed red pepper. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat. When the garlic is golden brown and very aromatic, remove it from the pan and discard it, it has fulfilled its garlic destiny.
  • Add the spinach to the pan, stir to coat the oil and season with salt. Cover the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the lid from the pan and stir the spinach, it should be wilted. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Transfer the spinach to a mesh strainer to let any excess water drain out.
  • Return the pan to the burner and coat the pan with olive oil and add in 2 more garlic cloves that have been smashed with the heel of your hand. Repeat the process of cooking the garlic to golden brown and discarding. Toss in a pinch of crushed red pepper and the sliced mushrooms. Season the mushrooms with salt and cook until they are soft and wilted, add a little more oil if they are a little dry. Taste the mushrooms and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Squeeze out any excess liquid from the wilted spinach and coarsely chop. Add to the mushrooms, toss in the Parmigiano and stir to combine. Taste to make sure it is delicious. Reserve.
  • Lay the meat out and gently pound to flatten. Sprinkle generously with salt. Lay the prosciutto slices down the middle of the veal. Lay a log of the spinach and mushroom mixture down the middle of the prosciutto. Roll the veal around the prosciutto and tie the veal with butcher's twine.
  • Coat a Dutch oven with olive oil and bring to a medium-high heat. Add the veal roll and brown on all sides. Remove the veal from the pan and reserve.
  • Ditch any excess fat and add a few drops of new oil. Add the onions to the pan, stir to coat with the oil and season with salt. Lower the heat to medium and cook the onions, covered, for 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Uncover the onions, they should be very soft and wilted. Add the chopped garlic and rosemary and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and reduce by half.
  • Return the veal to the pan and add chicken stock until it comes about halfway up the sides of the veal. Toss in the bay leaves and thyme bundle. Cover and place in the oven and cook for 1 hour.
  • Remove the veal from the oven, turn over and add more stock if the liquid has reduced. Taste the braising liquid if the liquid level has reduced significantly. Cook for 1 hour.
  • Remove the lid from the Dutch oven and braise for another 45 minutes to allow the liquid to reduce.
  • Remove the veal from the oven, remove from the pan, cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Place the Dutch oven on a burner over medium heat to reduce the braising liquid if it is too soupy. Taste the liquid to make sure the seasoning is correct.

WHOLE ROASTED BREAST OF VEAL



Whole Roasted Breast of Veal image

A whole breast of veal is a succulent, fatty, tender magnificence to enjoy, at any time, but especially so when you have holiday turkey and ham fatigue. It doesn't make immediate sense that I consider the veal - with its fat and cartilage and bone and sinew and silver skin - a light meal, but in my experience, the few bites of sticky tender meat you end up with are so outrageously succulent and hit the spot so hard you don't need more. The long, slow, low overnight cooking is perfect for both the meat and your schedule if you are trying to pull off a real, civilian party - and sit down at it.

Categories     dinner, lunch, roasts, main course

Time 12h30m

Yield Serves 10-20

Number Of Ingredients 10

Whole breast of veal - approximately 15 pounds
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Ground juniper
Ground allspice
Fresh thyme
Olive oil
4 Yukon Gold potatoes
1 large yellow onion
Dry white wine

Steps:

  • Vaguely trim breast - just the fat globs on the rib cage and any especially skanky skin, if it even exists. If the blue U.S.D.A. ink stamp on the flesh offends you, remove it.
  • Place breast in a deep roasting pan large enough to accommodate it, and season meat thoroughly and assertively with salt, all over, turning the breast ribs-side up as well, seasoning with salt all over. Do the same thing, less assertively by half, with ground black pepper. Set breast back in pan ribs-side down, and season the flesh side extremely conservatively with both ground juniper and ground allspice. A light hand here, please. Strip a few pinches of fresh thyme leaves from their stems, and scatter over the veal. Drizzle generously with the oil, allowing some to pool in roasting pan.
  • Let the veal sit at room temperature to shake the chill from the refrigerator while you prepare the potatoes.
  • Peel and cut into wedges 4 Yukon Gold potatoes, and scatter around in pan. Peel and halve the onion, and slice into 1/3-inch-thick half-moons. Scatter onion around in pan on top of potatoes. Keep potato and onion under the meat, not on top of it, so that breast can fully brown and get a crisp skin.
  • Fill roasting pan 2 inches deep with water and white wine, in equal parts. Set in 275-degree oven, and let roast for up to 12 hours, depending on weight. Remove when it is deeply golden brown and soft and tender. You don't want it falling off the bone, but you should be able to see how loose and relaxed it has become in the layers. You may need to tent the pan with foil for the first or the last 45 minutes of roasting to give it a little braise time for the deepest interior, recalcitrant parts. Conversely, you may want to turn up the oven and give it a 30-minute finish in a hot oven to get better color.
  • Pick out vertebrae. Slice off ribs. Then portion as you wish, using a sharp knife big enough for the job. Include the potatoes and onions and the liquid from the pan when you serve.

STUFFED ROAST VEAL BREAST



Stuffed Roast Veal Breast image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups coarse stale bread crumbs, preferably from a crusty country loaf
1 pound sweet Italian sausage meat
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped (2 teaspoons)
1 3 1/2- to 4- pound veal breast (4 to 5 ribs)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 large onion, sliced
1/2 cup water
2 pounds medium-size potatoes (about 6), peeled and halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together the stuffing ingredients.
  • Put the veal breast meat side up on a flat surface. Using a sharp, thin knife, slice along the widest side of the breast, as close to the bones as possible, to create a deep pocket. Push the stuffing into the cavity and press on it to distribute it evenly over the bones. Tie the open end shut with soft kitchen string, wrapping it twice to secure the stuffing inside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large casserole. Sprinkle the meat all over with salt, and when the oil is hot, brown the meat for a total of 30 minutes over medium heat, turning occasionally so it is uniformly brown. Add the sliced onion and water; cover, reduce heat to very low and cook 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the meat to a platter. In the remaining juices (about 1 1/2 cups), arrange the potatoes in one layer. Put the roast on top, meat side up, and cook, uncovered, in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the meat is nicely browned on top and the potatoes are cooked through.
  • At this point, the roast is cooked enough so the ribs can be twisted and pulled away from the meat. Slice the meat, following the shape of the ribs and slicing right through the cartilage bones. Serve each person one slice with potatoes and pan juices.

Tips:

  • For the best results, choose a veal breast that is about 3 pounds in weight.
  • Be sure to soak the matzo in water for at least 30 minutes before using it.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the veal breast.
  • Use a sharp knife to make a pocket in the veal breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Stuff the veal breast with the matzo mixture, making sure to pack it in tightly.
  • Season the veal breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Roast the veal breast in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the veal breast rest for 15 minutes before carving.
  • Serve the veal breast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Matzo-stuffed breast of veal is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is a relatively easy dish to make, but it does require some time. If you are looking for a show-stopping dish that will impress your guests, this is the recipe for you.
