Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 veal escalopes (4-in diameter & 1/2-in thick, not pounded)
3 medium apples
5 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
2 ounces flour
2 ounces butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 tablespoons calvados
12 ounces double cream

Steps:

  • Peel, core & cut apples into 1/2-in cubes. Place them in a bowl, add lemon juice, mix thoroughly so apples are well-coated & set aside.
  • Sprinkle veal escalopes w/salt & pepper & then w/the flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Heat butter & oil in a lrg skillet at least 15-in in diameter. When hot, add veal a few pieces at a time & saute till lightly brown on both sides (approx 4 min on ea side over med-heat).
  • When escalopes are cooked, arrange them on a platter & set aside in a warm place such as an oven heated to 180°F (80°C).
  • Add apples w/lemon juice & Calvados to the pan. Scrape up all pan encrustations & cook over mod-heat (stir freq) for 3 minutes.
  • Add cream & cont cooking till mixture has turned a rich ivory color. Reduce heat & cook (stir freq) for almost 10 min or till the cream has reduced by half & the sauce coats a spoon.
  • Taste for seasoning; you will prob need to add about 1/2 tsp salt. Spoon sauce over escalopes & serve immediately.
  • NOTE: The recipe says this serves 6 as a main-course, but I think it is more likely to serve 4 as a main-dish or 6 as an appy. I expect it may depend on what the entire menu looks like, so I will let you decide this for yourself.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons EVOO
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage meat with fennel
12 ounces ground veal
About 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 10- to 12-ounce package chopped frozen organic spinach, defrosted and wrung dry in kitchen towel
1/3 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
Freshly grated nutmeg
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups grated fontina cheese, such as Fontina Val d'Aosta
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
12 cannelloni dried pasta or 18 large pasta shells

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, heat the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage and crumble to very small pieces. Then add the veal, brown and crumble. Add the sage, garlic, onions and some salt and pepper, and cook until tender. Separate the spinach with your fingertips and add to the skillet. Stir to heat through, then deglaze with the wine and remove from the heat.
  • In a saucepot over medium heat, melt the butter, whisk in the flour and bring to a bubble. Whisk in the milk and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. Thicken the sauce to coat the back of a spoon. Taste to adjust the seasoning and remove a ladle of sauce to combine with the egg yolks to temper them. Add the egg yolks to the sauce and stir in half of the fontina cheese and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Reduce the heat to low, or cover to keep warm.
  • Salt the water, and cook the pasta to a chewy al dente, 6 to 7 minutes. Then drain and cool. Fill the tubes or shells with the meat filling using small spoon. Cover the bottom of the baking dish with one-quarter of the sauce, then arrange the shells and cover with the remaining sauce, then top with the remaining cheese. Refrigerate or freeze for a make-ahead meal.
  • Bake from room temperature at 375 degrees F until brown and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes.

Pan Roasted Veal Shanks with Calvados, Apples and Cider Vinegar image

Provided by Andrew Zimmern

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 osso bucco, veal shins, center cut, about 1 1/2 inches thick
4 cups all-purpose flour, seasoned well with salt and pepper, for dredging the shanks
5 tablespoons butter
7 shallots, minced
2 Granny Smith, Haralson, or other tart cooking apple, peeled, cored, halved and sliced
2 cups natural apple cider
1/2 cup calvados or applejack
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons minced tarragon
1/2 cup dried Zante currants
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Dredge the shanks in the seasoned flour. Brown the shanks in the butter in a very large oven safe pan over high heat; this will take 12 to 15 minutes. Lower the heat and continue cooking for 5 minutes, turning frequently to cook evenly. DO NOT SCORCH.
  • In the pan you have the shanks in, add the shallots and apples. When softened, add the cider, calvados and vinegar. Let it come to a low boil and reduce the liquid by 40 to 50 percent. Then add the chicken stock and bring it back up to a low boil.
  • Place the pan in the oven for 90 minutes, tented with foil. When the cooking time in the oven is over, remove from the oven and skim fat if needed. Test the meat to make sure it's fork tender. If it's not, stick it back in the oven for a few minutes. Then place the pan back over medium-low heat on the stove.
  • Add the cream and tarragon. Cook for 5 more minutes to finish cooking and reduce the sauce to a rich consistency.
  • Add the currants and correct the seasoning using sea salt and then correcting for vinegar. You may be adding a bit more for acidic punch.

VEAL SAUSAGE

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Time 2h

Yield 8 six-inch links

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup minced shallot
1 1/2 pounds veal shoulder, cubed
1/2 pound pork fatback, cubed
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons fennel seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons coriander seeds, toasted and ground
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
One 4 1/2-foot hog casing, soaked in water 30 minutes and then flushed with water
Cornichons, for serving
Whole-grain mustard, for serving
Toasted or grilled bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
  • Combine the veal and pork fatback with the shallot mixture, red pepper flakes, fennel seeds, coriander, sugar and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a large plastic zip-top bag and refrigerate overnight.
  • At least 30 minutes before grinding the meat, place all of your tools (including the meat grinder parts, stand mixer bowl, stand mixer paddle attachment and sausage stuffer parts) in the freezer to chill.
  • Using your meat grinder, grind the marinated meat mixture twice through the small die plate into the chilled bowl of the stand mixer. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, then return the mixture to the mixer and beat on medium speed using the chilled paddle attachment, 45 to 60 seconds. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Stuff the sausages (see Cook's Note) and, for best results, refrigerate overnight.
  • Before cooking, pierce each sausage several times with a pin. Grill over medium heat until the center registers 150 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. (You can also pan-fry or broil the sausages.) Serve with cornichons, mustard and bread.
  • If you don't have time to stuff sausage links, cook the sausage mixture loose in a skillet or form it into patties for grilling or pan-frying.

SAUSAGE AND APPLES, NORMANDY-STYLE



Sausage and Apples, Normandy-Style image

Calvados is the famous apple brandy from Normandy. A well-stocked liquor store will generally have it on hand, but you can substitute applejack brandy (or even a good fresh apple cider.) "I can buy boudin blanc in many places in New York," Joseph says, "but depending on where you live, it may not be so easy for you. If I had to substitute, I suppose I would use bockwurst, which is a similarly, delicately flavored German veal sausage. Potatoes mashed with butter and cream is what we always eat with this."

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 or 4 links (about 1 pound) fresh French white sausage (boudin blanc) or bockwurst, cut into 3/4-inch slices
4 small Granny Smith or other firm, tart apples, about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled, cored, halved, and cut into 1/4-inch crosswise slices
Ground cinnamon
1/4 cup Calvados, applejack or good apple cider
1/4 cup heavy cream
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large cold skillet, arrange the sausage slices in 1 layer. Set over medium-high heat, and cook, turning the slices once or twice until they are crisp and nicely browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a 2-quart casserole, arrange a layer of about 1/4 of the sausage slices. Cover the sausage with a layer of about 1/4 of the apple slices. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Continue in this manner to make 4 layers, ending with the apple slices.
  • Stir the Calvados into the skillet in which the sausage was browned, scraping up any crusty, brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan. Stir in the cream until well blended, Pour this mixture evenly over the casserole.
  • Cover, and bake for 1 hour until the apples have cooked down and the mixture is bubbling. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
