Best 4 Veal Scallops With Squash Tomatoes And Roasted Garlic Basil Sauce Recipes

VEAL SCALLOPS WITH SQUASH, TOMATOES, AND ROASTED-GARLIC BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler and lightly spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil.
• Cut tomatoes lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange in one layer on baking sheet. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper and broil 3 to 4 inches from heat until edges are browned, about 15 minutes.
• While tomatoes are broiling, in a saucepan of boiling salted water cook squash until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain squash in a colander and season with salt and pepper. Keep tomatoes and squash warm.
• In a cup stir together lemon juice, mustard, and oil. If veal scallops are too thick, put each veal scallop between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and with a rolling pin or smooth side of a meat pounder, gently flatten veal to 1/8 inch thick. Pat veal scallops dry and brush one side of each with lemon mixture. Season veal with salt. In a well-seasoned ridged grill pan cook veal scallops in batches over moderately high heat about 1 minute on each side, or until cooked through.
• If scallops are large, cut in half diagonally. Serve veal with tomatoes, squash, and sauce.

SCALLOPS WITH CREAM AND BASIL

Steps:

• Put 4 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium-high heat. When foam subsides, add scallops; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown on both sides, adjusting heat so they brown nicely; they need not cook through. Remove them to a plate.
• Turn off heat, cool pan a bit and wipe out. Add remaining butter over medium heat. When it melts, add shallots, garlic, chili flakes and a little more salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes, or until shallots soften.
• Add wine, raise heat a bit, and let bubble away for a minute or so until reduced by about half; add cream and repeat. When liquid is thick, return scallops and juices to pan.
• Cook for about a minute, stirring in half the basil, until scallops are just firm. Taste and adjust seasoning, transfer to small bowls or plates with a bit of sauce, garnish with remaining basil, and serve.

VEAL CUTLETS WITH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle veal with salt and pepper; dust with flour to coat lightly. Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add veal to skillet and sauté until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer veal to plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to same skillet. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with juices, basil, parsley, oregano and dried red pepper. Bring sauce to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until flavors blend and sauce thickens slightly, scraping up browned bits, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange cutlets atop sauce. Top each with cheese. Cover; simmer until veal is tender and cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

ROASTED-GARLIC BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Wrap garlic cloves tightly in foil. Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick slices and season with salt and pepper. Put foil-wrapped garlic and zucchini on a baking sheet and roast in middle of oven until garlic is tender and zucchini is pale golden, about 15 minutes. Unwrap garlic and cool.
• Have ready a bowl of ice water. In a saucepan of boiling water blanch basil and parsley 10 seconds and drain in a sieve. Refresh herbs in ice water to stop cooking and drain in sieve. Sauce ingredients may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and kept separately, covered and chilled.
• In a blender blend garlic, zucchini, herbs, water, and lemon juice until smooth, about 1 minute, and season with salt and pepper.
