Time 45m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 eggs
½ cup water, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste
8 cups cubed white bread
5 pounds veal breast
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the mushrooms, and cook for 1 or 2 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the carrot, celery, and onion; cook and stir until the carrot begins to soften, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn the heat off, and stir in the garlic and parsley; set aside.
  • Beat the eggs and water with salt and pepper in a large bowl. Fold in the bread cubes until they absorb the egg mixture, then fold in the cooked vegetables; set aside. Cut a deep pocket into the veal breast with a long, narrow knife. Stuff the veal with the bread and vegetable mixture, and season with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place onto a roasting pan, and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 3 1/2 hours, then remove the foil, baste with pan drippings, and continue cooking 30 minutes more. When done, tent with aluminum foil, and allow the veal breast to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

BRAISED STUFFED BREAST OF VEAL

Categories     dinner, project, roasts, main course

Time 5h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 head garlic
5 to 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Leaves from 2 large bunches white Swiss chard, rinsed and drained
Salt
1/4 pound prosciutto di Parma
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 whole 10- to 12-pound breast of veal, boned
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 carrots, quartered
2 onions, quartered
1 leek, quartered
1 stalk celery, quartered
12 cups liquid: light veal or chicken stock or water, or a blend
Herbed vinaigrette, salsa verde or aioli, optional

Steps:

  • Heat an oven to 450 degrees. Rub the garlic with a little olive oil, wrap in foil and roast until soft, about 30 minutes. Remove the garlic and reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan, add the Swiss chard leaves, sprinkle with a little salt, and cook a few minutes, turning with tongs, until wilted. Place in a colander and press out as much liquid as possible.
  • Coarsely chop the Swiss chard. Shred the prosciutto and scatter over the chard. Dust with the cheese and chop ingredients together until the chard is finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove excess fat from the surface of the veal. With boned side up, lightly score surface of veal in crisscross pattern. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the garlic out of cloves and mash. Spread on the meat. Spread with an even layer of chard mixture. Strew with the thyme and parsley. Tightly roll the slab of veal the long way. Use a butcher's cord to tie the veal at 1 1/2-inch intervals, tucking in any stuffing that oozes out.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large, deep casserole over medium heat. Cut the roast in half or thirds if necessary to fit in the casserole, and lightly brown on all sides, one section at a time. If the pan blackens, wash the casserole after browning the veal.
  • Scatter carrots, onions, leek and celery over the veal in the casserole. Add enough liquid to nearly cover the meat. Bring to simmer on top of stove. Place in the oven and cook 2 1/2 to 3 hours, basting frequently, until the meat is fork-tender. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in liquid to room temperature.
  • Remove veal from cooking liquid, reserving liquid. Wrap veal in foil; refrigerate overnight.
  • Reduce cooking liquid by half and skim off fat. Strain and freeze for another use.
  • To serve, snip and remove cord from veal. Slice veal. Arrange on platter with vinaigrette, salsa verde or aioli alongside.

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.

STUFFED VEAL BREAST

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 garlic clove, split in half
1 egg
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons white wine
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 heaping tablespoons chopped parsley
1 heaping tablespoon freshly grated bread crumbs
1/2 pound sweet pork sausages
1 3-to-3 1 /2 -pound piece of veal breast, with a pocket cut into it by the butcher
5 slices bacon or pancetta
1 shallot, thickly sliced
5 to 6 cups veal or chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Rub the inside of a mixing bowl with the garlic, then chop and add to the bowl. Add and stir together the egg, 3 tablespoons of wine, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add the parsley and bread crumbs, then the sausages, removed from their casings. Mix well.
  • Stuff the pocket of the veal breast with the mixture, gently pressing it into the corners. Sew together the opening with a kitchen needle and string.
  • Lay the bacon in a braising pan, cover with the shallot and lay the veal on top. Cover and place on the stove over low heat, until the bacon sweats and the shallot softens, about 15 minutes. Remove the lid, add 1/2 cup wine and bring to a simmer. Reduce until there is just a film of liquid in the pan. Add 1/2 cup broth and reduce once more. Pour in the remaining broth to cover 3/4 of the meat. Cover the pan with parchment paper, then the lid, and braise in the oven until the meat is fork tender, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the lid and parchment. To create a glaze on top of the meat, baste the meat and braise, uncovered, for 5 minutes, then repeat. Remove from the oven and let cool in the liquid. Serve sliced, warm, with some of the cooking juices, or chilled.
