Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

5 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
2 green bell peppers, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
6 cross-cut sections veal shank (about 5 pounds)
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound cipollini onions, peeled
1/2 cup white wine
Kosher salt
3/4 pound wild mushrooms, broken into pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare the veal: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell peppers and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until most of the liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir in the paprika, then add the wine and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth; transfer the mixture to a large baking dish.
  • Pat the veal dry; sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Wipe out the skillet, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. Cook the veal in 2 batches until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil between batches. Transfer the veal to the baking dish, cover with foil and bake until tender, 2 hours to 2 hours, 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: Heat the sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until the sugar melts. Add the cipollini onions and cook, tossing, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the wine, 1/4cup water and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, partially covered, until tender, about 20 minutes. Uncover and cook over medium-high heat, stirring until glazed, about 5 more minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the parsley, dill and salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
  • Transfer the veal to an ovenproof platter, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven (turn the oven off). Strain the liquid from the baking dish, discarding the solids. Skim off 1 tablespoon fat from the strained liquid; transfer the fat to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in the liquid and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the veal and serve with the mushrooms and onions

VEAL CHOPS PAPRIKASH

Another delicious recipe from my Williams-Sonoma "Steak and Chops" cookbook. DH and I found this to be wonderfully spicy. We used baby portabellas for the mushrooms instead of white and it worked well in the dish. Prep time includes the at least 15 minutes of letting meat stand at room temp.

Categories     Veal

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons hot paprika
4 loin veal chops, at least 1 1/2 inches thick, trimmed of excess fat (can also use rib veal chops)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 shallots, chopped
3 ounces white mushrooms, brushed clean, chopped
1 teaspoon sweet paprika, plus more for garnish
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup sour cream
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • To make the rub, in a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, and the two paprikas. Slash the edges of the chops in 1 or 2 places to prevent curling. Sprinkle the chops all over with the rub. Let stand at room temperature for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour, or cover and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature if necessary before cooking.
  • In a large, heavy frying pan, over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chops and brown for about 2 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat to medium and cover the pan. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted away from the bone registers 145 degrees F (63 C) and the meat is lightly pink when cut into near the bone, 4-5 minutes longer. Transfer the chops to a serving platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil while you make the sauce.
  • Pour off all but 1 Tb of the drippings from the pan. Add the shallots, mushrooms, and 1 tsp sweet paprika. Saute over medium-high heat until the shallots are translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add the wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook for 1 minute longer, stirring often. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the chops to individual pates, spoon the sauce on top, sprinkle with sweet paprika, and serve.
